Texas Felony Classifications & Penalties

Under Texas Penal Code Chapter 12, felonies are divided into five tiers. The classification of your charge determines the sentencing range, and the stakes rise sharply at each level. These ranges are general legal information; your specific exposure depends on the facts of your case.

• State Jail Felony: 180 days to 2 years in a state jail facility, up to a $10,000 fine. Common examples include DWI with a child passenger and theft of $2,500 to $30,000.
• Third-Degree Felony: 2 to 10 years in prison, up to a $10,000 fine. Examples include third-offense DWI and intoxication assault.
• Second-Degree Felony: 2 to 20 years, up to a $10,000 fine. Examples include aggravated assault, robbery, and manslaughter.
• First-Degree Felony: 5 to 99 years or life, up to a $10,000 fine. Examples include murder, aggravated robbery, and aggravated sexual assault.
• Capital Felony: Death or life without the possibility of parole.

Charges can move up a tier based on aggravating factors: use of a deadly weapon, prior convictions, or the status of the victim. Understanding where your charge sits and what might shift it is one of the first things we assess when we review a case.

What a Felony Conviction Costs Beyond Prison Time

Incarceration is the most visible consequence of a felony conviction, but it’s far from the only one. A felony record in Texas can disqualify you from professional licenses in healthcare, education, finance, and law. Housing applications, federal student aid, and broad categories of private employment are routinely closed to people with felony convictions.

You can also lose the right to possess a firearm and the right to vote, rights that are only restored after fully discharging your sentence, including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision. Court costs, supervision fees, and reduced earning potential accumulate over a lifetime, with the financial damage often reaching tens of thousands of dollars even after you’ve served your sentence. That’s why the defense strategy matters from day one.
