Murder: Intentionally causing the death of another person or causing the death of another person while committing or attempting to commit certain felonies

Penalties for Violent Offenses

The possible penalties for a violent crime conviction in Texas depend on various factors, not least of which is how the offense is charged.

Some of the factors that affect the potential penalties for a violent criminal offense include:

The nature of the offense and the violence involved
The impact of the offense on the victim (severity of the injury, death, trauma, etc.)
The relationship between the alleged offender and victim
Whether a deadly weapon was used in the commission of the crime
Whether the alleged offender has any prior criminal history
The mental state of the alleged offender at the time of the crime
The motive behind the offense, including whether it was motivated by hate
The age of the alleged offender
The age of the victim

Depending on whether the offense is charged as a first-, second-, or third-degree felony, you could be looking at a prison sentence of 2-10, 2-20, or 5-99 years or life imprisonment if you are convicted. For a capital murder charge, you could even be facing the death penalty.
