Your questions
answered
We provide answers to complex legal questions, empowering you to make informed decisions and navigate the legal process with confidence.
What is considered a crime in Texas?
What are the classifications of misdemeanors in Texas?
Misdemeanors are classified as:
● Class C (lowest, fines only)
● Class B (up to 180 days in jail and a fine not to exceed $2000)
● Class A (up to one year in jail and a fine not to exceed $4000)
How long does the state have to charge someone with a crime in Texas?
In Texas, the state has a limited time to file criminal charges, known as the statute of limitations. For most misdemeanors, the deadline is 2 years from the date of the offense. Felonies have longer time limits—some up to 10 years or more—and serious crimes like murder may have no time limit at all. Once the deadline passes, charges usually can’t be filed.
What is the difference between parole and probation?
In Texas, probation is a court-ordered alternative to jail, allowing someone to stay in the community under supervision instead of serving time. Parole happens after someone has served part of a prison sentence and is released early under strict conditions. Both involve regular check-ins, rules to follow, and the risk of being sent to jail or prison if those rules are broken. The key difference: probation is part of the original sentence, while parole is early release from prison.
Can I be charged with a crime if I didn’t intend to break the law?
Yes, in Texas, you can be charged with a crime even if you didn’t mean to break the law. Some offenses, called strict liability crimes, don’t require proof of intent—just doing the act is enough. Examples include traffic violations or selling alcohol to minors. For more serious crimes like assault or theft, prosecutors usually must prove you acted on purpose.
