Fighting Misdemeanor & Felony Charges in Texas

Our criminal defense lawyers in Round Rock provide legal representation for all types of offenses, including:
- Domestic Violence: Acts of abuse or threatened abuse against a family or household member are considered domestic violence. These offenses often have enhanced penalties attached to them.
- Drug Crimes: Possession, manufacture, or delivery of controlled substances are banned under Texas statutes. Many of these crimes are felonies carrying lengthy prison sentences.
- DWI and BWI: Texas law prohibits driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher or when a person's normal faculties are impaired by alcohol and/or drugs, compromising their ability to safely operate a vehicle.
- Juvenile Crimes: Generally, an offense allegedly committed by a child under 18 years of age will be handled by a juvenile court, which is much different from an adult court. Yet, the minor can be subject to various sanctions that affect their future.
- Murder: Depending on the alleged conduct, a person who takes the life of another individual may be charged with murder, capital murder, manslaughter, or criminally negligent homicide, all of which are harshly penalized.
- Probation Violations: When a person is placed on probation, the court orders various conditions they must follow. Violating the terms can result in a revocation of probation and imposition of the statutory sanctions for the initial offense.
- Sex Crimes: This term refers to offenses that are sexual in nature, such as prostitution, rape, possession of child pornography, and exploiting a minor. Typically, a conviction comes with a sex offender registration requirement.
- Theft Crimes: A person may be charged with a theft crime if they are alleged to have unlawfully misappropriated the property of another person.
- Violent Crimes: Acts of harm or threatened harm against another person fall under the violent crime category. Because these offenses endanger the lives and safety of others, they carry severe penalties.
- Weapons Charges: A range of acts are considered weapons crimes, such as possessing a gun while under disability or unlawfully discharging a firearm.
