Penalties

In Texas, criminal offenses are divided between misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanor offenses punishment ranges from no jail time up to one year in county jail and fines of up to $4,000.

It is important to remember that every person charged with committing a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This means that it is the States burden to prove that a person committed a crime beyond a reasonable doubt to obtain a conviction. If the defense can raise a reasonable doubt at trial, then the jury is instructed to return a “not guilty” verdict.
