Our Leander defense lawyers can fight for you against violent crime charges such as:

Arson
Assault
Battery
Burglary
Domestic violence
Manslaughter
Murder
Rape
Robbery
Weapons offenses
Vehicular assault

The penalties for a conviction for any of these violent offenses depend on the details of each case, such as the seriousness of the alleged victim’s injuries, whether weapons were involved, and so forth.

Possible Sentencing for a Violent Crime Conviction

Even if there was no intent to commit violence, such as in a DUI manslaughter case or some other form of negligent homicide, the defendant would still be looking at felony charges. For example, with a conviction of negligent homicide, sentencing could entail 180 days to 2 years in state jail with a fine of up to $10,000 (for a state jail felony). For vehicular manslaughter or a sexual assault conviction, penalties could include 2 to 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine (for a second-degree felony).

Premeditation and malice are often factors that lead to more serious charges, but you could still face life-changing penalties even if the prosecutor is unable to prove any such intent. In the case of manslaughter, a defendant could be facing a second-degree or first-degree felony charge, which comes with a lengthy prison sentence and steep fines.

Some murder charges can be a first-degree felony, punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, but Texas is also a state with capital felonies. Capital felonies, like murder, can mean a sentence of life without parole or even execution.
