What are the punishments if one is convicted?
In Texas, there are eight classifications of crimes, with the most lenient penalty being a fine and the greatest penalty is execution. The least serious crimes are classified as Class C misdemeanors, which includes traffic violations and public intoxication. Punishments are based not only on the type of crime but on the details of your case. Contact an experienced Houston criminal lawyer to learn the punishments that you may face for your crime.
