FAQ
In Texas, a felony is a more serious offense than a misdemeanor. Felonies are punishable by imprisonment for more than one year in a state prison, while misdemeanors carry a maximum sentence of one year in a county jail. Examples of felonies include murder, rape, and certain drug offenses, while examples of misdemeanors include traffic violations and minor theft offenses, assault, and driving while intoxicated.
In Texas, the penalties for a DWI conviction can vary depending on the circumstances of the case. For a first offense, a person may face fines of up to $2,000, jail time of up to 180 days, and a suspension of their driver's license for up to one year. For subsequent offenses, the penalties can be more severe, including longer jail sentences and fines of up to $10,000.
Driving While Intoxicated offenses can also be enhanced based on the facts of the case. Things that may enhance the case is the presence of children or open containers, the level of Blood Alcohol Content, and whether anyone was injured or killed. These enhancements are fact based, and case specific.
Yes, in Texas, a person can be charged with a crime even if they did not commit the act itself. The law recognizes the concept of "parties to a crime," which means that anyone who aids or assists in the commission of a crime can be held responsible for the crime as if they had committed it themselves.
In Texas, someone who has been arrested has the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the right to a fair and speedy trial. They also have the right to be informed of the charges against them and the evidence that will be used to support those charges. During a trial, someone accused of a crime has the right to call witnesses, and cross examine the government’s witnesses. These are not all of your rights, only a small sample. The best way to ensure that your rights are protected is to have an attorney with you by your side.
In Texas, the criminal justice system begins with an arrest, followed by arraignment, where the charges against the defendant are read and they enter a plea. If the case proceeds to trial, the prosecution presents its case and the defendant has the opportunity to present a defense. If the defendant is found guilty, they may be sentenced to jail time, fines, or other penalties. Appeals can be filed if there are legal errors in the trial process, and if the appeal is successful, a new trial may be ordered or the conviction may be overturned.
