What Is a Misdemeanor?

A misdemeanor is a criminal offense that is considered less serious than a felony and more serious than an infraction. In Texas, misdemeanors can result in fines, probation, community service, and up to one year in county jail.

Common misdemeanors in Texas include:

Driving while intoxicated (DWI)
Possession of under 4 oz of marijuana
Assault
Theft (under a certain dollar amount)
Criminal trespass
Disorderly conduct

Although misdemeanors are not considered as serious as felonies, being convicted of a misdemeanor can have a significant impact on your life. Because of this, it is crucial that you work with a knowledgeable defense attorney who knows how to protect your rights and your future.

How a Misdemeanor Conviction Can Impact Your Life

Just because misdemeanors are “less serious” than other types of criminal offenses, this does not mean that they are without serious, even life-altering consequences.

Being convicted of a misdemeanor can lead to:

Criminal Penalties: If convicted, you may face fines, probation, community service, and up to one year in county jail. These penalties can disrupt your life significantly, affecting your employment, finances, and personal freedom.
Damage to Your Reputation: A misdemeanor conviction can tarnish your reputation in your community and among your peers. It may lead to stigma and prejudice, making it difficult to rebuild trust and credibility.
Issues in Your Professional Life: Certain professions have strict standards regarding criminal records. A misdemeanor conviction could jeopardize your current job or future career prospects, particularly in fields such as education, healthcare, and law enforcement. It may also impact your ability to obtain or maintain certain professional licenses or certifications.
Limited Educational Opportunities: Some educational institutions conduct background checks as part of their admissions process. A misdemeanor conviction could potentially hinder your chances of acceptance into colleges, universities, or specialized programs.
Financial Consequences: Beyond fines imposed by the court, a misdemeanor conviction can lead to increased insurance premiums, difficulty obtaining loans or housing, and limitations on travel or immigration status.
Family and Personal Relationship Strain: The stress and strain of facing criminal charges can strain personal relationships with family and friends. It can also lead to emotional distress and uncertainty about your future.

Navigating the legal complexities of a misdemeanor charge requires experienced legal counsel. Our firm is committed to defending your rights and working to minimize the long-term consequences of a misdemeanor conviction.

Not Guilty DWI .22 Blood Warrant
This was the 2nd time we tried this case. First one ended in a mistrial last year. 911 caller reported 2 people leaving a restaurant belligerent and stumbling. Officer arrived on scene, conducted field sobriety tests and arrested client for DWI. Client refused to provide a sample. Warrant was obtained and blood came back a .22.
Probation (was looking at 25 to life in prison) Felony DWI
Our client was arrested and charged with DWI. The alleged BAC was 0.083. However, because he had 6 prior DWI’s and had previously been to prison multiple times, the client was facing 25 years to life in prison. The client accepted responsibility for the crime and our attorneys set this case for a sentencing hearing in front of the judge, where we put on a strong mitigation case with multiple witnesses. We were able to avoid prison or jail for the client. He was sentenced to probation.
Not Guilty DWI .17 Blood Result
A soldier on base at Fort Hood hit a parked car in the parking lot of his barracks while attempting to back into a parking space. A bystander called 911, believing the driver to be drunk. Military Police investigated the incident and performed field sobriety tests. The soldier was arrested for DWI and his blood was drawn for analysis. The lab results came back, showing an alleged blood alcohol content of 0.178.
Case Dismissed; Charges Reduced Solicitation of a Minor
Our client was a legal permanent resident with no criminal history when he was picked up for solicitation of a minor after a sting operation.

Case Dismissed Aggravated Assault w/ Deadly Weapon
Our client, a veteran with no criminal history, allegedly got into an altercation at a gas station after an argument about politics that started verbal turned physical.
