Bryan & College Station Felony & Misdemeanor Lawyers

What is the Difference Between Felonies and Misdemeanors?

Texas categorizes criminal charges as either felonies or misdemeanors. Generally, misdemeanors are less serious charges and carry lighter penalties than felony charges.

However, any criminal record can cause problems in the future with employment, educational opportunities, and obtaining professional licenses. Whenever possible, it is best to avoid any criminal record.

What are the Penalties for Felonies & Misdemeanors?
