FAQ
State jail felonies are the least severe type of felony in Texas. Jail sentences can be as low as 180 days – around half of a year. They can be as high as 2 years. Fines can still go up to $10,000.
For second degree lawful offenses that range is between 1 year and 15 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000, however the fine isn't required.
Non-dangerous class 2 felonies carry harsh sentences typically ranging from four to ten years, along with large fines that can be financially devastating.
A Class 1 felony is equivalent to a Class A felony, Class 2 to Class B, and Class 3 to Class C. Class A is the most serious felony. Class C is the least serious. Felony classifications are used to determine the severity of the sentence imposed upon conviction.
Crimes in Texas are classified as either a felony or misdemeanor. Felonies are divided into four degrees based on their severity. One of these is called a second-degree felony, which is reserved for serious crimes such as arson or robbery. A second-degree felony can result in serious fines and possible prison time.
Penalty Group 2 includes PCP, MDMA (ecstasy), mescaline, THC other than plant marijuana (edibles/vapes), GHB, and amphetamines. Penalty Group 1A is LSD. It has it's own group since it's prosecuted by the “dose” instead of the weight as is the case with other drugs.
For a first-time offender (with no aggravating factors), the general sentencing range for a class 2 felony is 4 to 10 years. However, dangerous and repetitive offenders can receive sentences upwards of 21 or 35 years.
In Texas, Class A misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year in jail, a fine of up to $4,000, or both jail time and a fine.
Sec. 12.33. SECOND DEGREE FELONY PUNISHMENT. (a) An individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the second degree shall be punished by imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for any term of not more than 20 years or less than 2 years.
