At the Law Office of Zachary Bidner, we understand the significance of misdemeanor charges and the potential impact on your life. Misdemeanors in Texas cover a range of offenses, from minor infractions to more serious violations. This section provides comprehensive information on types of misdemeanors, the legal process, and how our skilled team can navigate Texas law to advocate for your rights.

Types of Misdemeanors in Texas

Class A Misdemeanors

Class A misdemeanors include offenses such as assault causing bodily injury, theft of property valued between $750 and $2,500, and certain drug possession charges. These charges carry penalties that can significantly impact your life, and it’s essential to have strong legal representation.

Class B Misdemeanors

Examples of Class B misdemeanors are driving under the influence (DUI), simple assault, and possession of marijuana (2 to 4 ounces). Although considered less severe than Class A misdemeanors, Class B offenses can still result in significant consequences.

Class C misdemeanors are typically less serious offenses, such as traffic violations, disorderly conduct, and minor in possession of alcohol. While these charges carry fewer immediate consequences, addressing them promptly is crucial to avoid long-term issues.
