Three Types of Misdemeanors

According to Texas criminal law there are three different levels of misdemeanor offenses that you can be charged with: Class A, Class B and Class C. The penalties for your offense can vary depending on the level of misdemeanor that you have been charged with. For example:

  • Class A misdemeanors- These crimes can lead to a one year jail sentence as well as a fine up to $4,000.
  • Class B misdemeanors- These crimes may carry a jail sentence up to 180 days as well as a fine up to $2,000.
  • Class C misdemeanors- These crimes are punishable for a fine up to $500.
