Misdemeanors are crimes that are generally not as serious as felonies. Although punishment is less severe for misdemeanors,
a conviction will remain on your public record and can have many unwelcome consequences in your life. It may
affect your ability to get a job or even to rent an apartment. A misdemeanor conviction can never be expunged
(permanently erased) from your record. There
are only two instances in which your record can be expunged; in the event you are found not guilty
of a crime in a trial or if your case has been dismissed prior to trial.
The State of Texas has three different degrees of misdemeanors.
- Class A
misdemeanors can be punished by up to one year in the county jail and/or a fine
of up to $4,000.00.
- A Class B misdemeanor conviction can be punished by up to
180 days in the county jail and/or a fine not to exceed $2,000.00.
- A Class C
misdemeanor conviction can be punished by a fine not to exceed $500.00.
People who are charged with misdemeanor shoplifting theft.
Often the reason the accused person has taken merchandise without paying for the property
involves sudden life changing events which result in depression or a mental
condition where the accused person in really crying out for help as opposed to
stealing for merely economic reasons.
A criminal defense attorney is often called upon to represent
people accused of possession of marijuana. A good criminal
defense attorney will defend such misdemeanors by reviewing the facts to see if
a defense such as illegal arrest or search is involved. There must also be
sufficient evidence to prove possession beyond a reasonable doubt, which
requires that the defendant have knowledge of the location of the drug and have
actual care, custody and control of the contraband.
Some assaults are charged as misdemeanors. An assault with a deadly weapon or
which resulted in serious bodily injury is a felony. Sometimes
misdemeanor family violence assaults can be dismissed if the alleged victim or
complaining witness later decides that he or she does not want to see a family
member prosecuted and signs an affidavit requesting that the misdemeanor charge
be dismissed.
Some crimes under the Texas Penal Code may be charged as either a felony or a
misdemeanor depending on the alleged facts of the case. In these cases, the
monetary value of the victim’s loss of property or the extent and nature of a
victim’s physical injury are facts used by law enforcement to determine whether
a crime is a misdemeanor or a felony.
Crimes which are defined as misdemeanors, or may be misdemeanors depending on
the alleged facts, call for the knowledge and skill of an experienced Houston
misdemeanor defense attorney.
