At our AMS Law Group, we represent clients who are charged with a felony whether the charge is brought in state or federal court.
Texas has different classifications of felonies and the penalty involved depends on the classification.
Murder is an example of a capital felony which is punishable by death or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
This carries a penalty of between five and 99 years in prison, or life imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000.
A second-degree felony carries a punishment ranging from two to 20 years in prison with a fine up to $10,000.
This classification carries a penalty of between two and 10 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
If the statute designates a crime as a felony but fails to set a specific sentence for the offense, then the punishment is a minimum of 180 months and up to two years in state jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
Some offenses, such as drug crimes, can be charged in either state or federal court. If convicted in federal court, the penalties are generally greater.
Your freedom is at risk for conviction of any felony. In addition, when you are released, you may lose your right to vote. You may lose any professional license you have and find it difficult to find a job, a place to live, or even a car loan.
