Texas Felony Offenses
Felony crimes are those offenses considered to be the most serious by the court system. They carry the heaviest penalties and the worst social stigma. Prosecutors are generally very aggressive in seeking a conviction for a felony. Because of this, it is crucial that you mount an equally aggressive defense. You will need a team that will fight hard for a favorable case resolution using all of its skills and legal savvy. With a former prosecutor on board at Smith & Vinson Law Firm, you can rely on us.
Felonies are divided into five classifications in Texas:
