Dallas Misdemeanor Lawyers
A charge doesn’t have to be a felony to be serious. A conviction for a misdemeanor charge still brings fines, the stain of a criminal record, and, in quite a few circumstances, can still involve jail time. Defendants need strong legal representation to protect their rights and work for the best possible outcome. Our lawyers have served the counties of Dallas, Kaufman, and Rockwall since 2007. We pride ourselves on a results-driven approach and giving each client the personalized attention they deserve, including 24/7 access to their attorney.
Our bilingual team serves both English and Spanish-speaking clients. Call (214) 948-8333 or contact us online today.
Misdemeanor Crimes in Texas
Texas law classifies misdemeanors into three levels--Class A, Class B, and Class C:
Class A Misdemeanors
Class A misdemeanors are the most serious type of misdemeanor in Texas. These offenses carry penalties of up to one year in county jail and fines of up to $4,000. Examples of Class A misdemeanors include driving with a blood-alcohol content level of 0.15% (nearly twice the legal limit), assault causing bodily injury, and possession of small amounts of certain controlled substances.
Class B Misdemeanors
Class B misdemeanors can result in up to 180 days in county jail and fines of up to $2,000. Crimes classified as Class B misdemeanors include a first offense for DWI, the theft of property valued between $100 and $750, or possession of up to two ounces of marijuana.
Class C Misdemeanors
Class C misdemeanors are punishable by fines of up to $500. These offenses do not carry jail time. Common examples of Class C misdemeanors include minor traffic violations, public intoxication, and theft of property valued at less than $100.
Possible Legal Strategies
Defenses could hinge on procedural errors during the investigation or arrest, such as failure to read a suspect’s rights or illegal searches and seizures. What’s more, many cases allow for negotiation of plea deals or alternative resolutions, like deferred adjudication, which can keep the charge off your record.
Crafting a strong defense involves comprehensive preparation and a deep understanding of the law, underscoring the importance of working with experienced legal counsel.
