What Are Considered Felony Charges in Texas?

Felony cases can be filed in Texas state courts but can also be sent to Federal courts. In some cases, misdemeanor charges can even be converted into felony charges.

  • Aggravated assault
  • Sexual assault
  • Family violence (choking)
  • Family violence (second offense)
  • Murder
  • Child abandonment or endangerment
  • Human trafficking
  • DWI (third offense)
  • Theft (third offense)
  • Manslaughter
  • Manslaughter while intoxicated

  • Aggravated Robbery
  • Various drug offenses

Just because you've been arrested and charged with a felony does not mean that you're guilty. So, don't give up and be sure to contact an Austin felony defense lawyer who will be aggressive in defending you against these charges. We are very experienced in Texas criminal law, so you can feel confident that we are doing everything we can to help you face these charges.

Penalties for Felony Charges

Although all felony charges are serious, penalties can still vary in severity depending on the crime that was committed. Felonies are categorized in degrees and the penalties increase according to degree.

The following shows how much time you serve per felony degree:

  • State jail felony: A minimum of 180 days to 2 years in state jail
  • State jail felony with a deadly weapon: A minimum of 2 years up to 10 years in state jail
  • Third-degree felony: A minimum of 2 years up to 10 years in prison
  • Second-degree felony: A minimum of 2 years up to 20 years in prison
  • First-degree felony: A minimum of 5 years up to life in prison
  • Capital felony: Life in prison without parole or death

If you already were convicted of a previous felony, your charges may be enhanced to a higher penalty range. In addition, each of these convictions can carry steep fines.
