Understanding Felony Charges in Texas
Felony cases can be filed in Texas state courts but can also be sent to Federal courts. In some cases, misdemeanor charges can even be converted into felony charges.
In Texas, felonies are classified into five categories: capital felonies, first-degree felonies, second-degree felonies, third-degree felonies, and state jail felonies. Each carries different implications and requires distinct defense strategies. Understanding these classifications is crucial as they determine the severity of the punishment and dictate the legal approach we use to defend you. Our team is adept at navigating these complex distinctions, providing a thorough defense tailored to each specific degree.

What Our Clients Say
Our Level of Service Speaks for Itself

Trusting someone with your life is an incredibly difficult choice and one we never want to have to make but Shelly and her team have helped me through some of these stressful situations. I used several different lawyers before finding her and was less than impressed with all of them. When I contracted her to help me with my second DWI, I found out quickly how a highly competent lawyer handles the courtroom. I have since worked with her on several cases and I have recommended her to many of my friends and family. All of us have been fortunate that she was on our side and I highly recommend her for any legal services.- Jason W.
