What Makes a Felony in Texas?

A felony is the most serious level of offense in our justice system, as compared to infractions or misdemeanors. Because of this, they pack the most serious penalties, including the loss of certain civil rights. Under Texas law, felonies can result in fines up to $10,000 and imprisonment between six months to life. In some cases, felony convictions can be punishable by death. Ultimately, the nature of an offense and a defendant’s criminal history will play a role in shaping punishment.

There are serious consequences that can follow any felony conviction:

  • Minimum terms of imprisonment
  • Extensive fines and fees
  • Periods of supervised release
  • Loss of professional licenses
  • Loss of voting rights and ability to serve on a jury
  • Loss of firearm rights
  • Ineligibility to serve in the armed forces

Texas law classifies felonies into various categories. These include:

  • Capital felony – Death or life without parole
  • First-degree felony – 5 to 99 years
  • Second-degree felony – 2 to 20 years
  • Third-degree felony – 2 to 10 years
  • State jail felony – 6 months to 2 years

In addition to these consequences, individuals convicted of felonies often find it difficult to compete in a competitive world where people are scrutinized for their record. While having a felony conviction doesn’t necessarily preclude you from earning a living, it can make finding employment, housing, and even education difficult.

Texas Three Strikes Law

In an effort to cut down on serious crime and protect the public from habitual offenders, Texas enforces a Three Strikes law that governs the sentences for repeat felony convictions. A strike is defined as a serious or violent felony. The theory behind the law is, “three strikes and you’re out,” and as such, defendants who are convicted of a third felony will face considerably longer prison terms, ranging from 15 or 25 to life.
