Bryan/ College Station State Jail Felony Defense Attorneys

A person convicted of a crime will receive a penalty based on the severity of the offense in question. There are a wide range of illegal activities and consequences that can lead to long-lasting negative effects on the personal and professional life of an accused individual. A state jail felony falls between a misdemeanor and a felony in terms of seriousness and associated punishments.

There are many considerations made by prosecutors when it comes to filing criminal charges. Some of the requirements for a crime to be defined as a state jail felony include:

  • The offense was committed without the use of a deadly weapon
  • The crime was non-violent
  • Any stolen funds or property were minimal in value
  • Any controlled substances found were of a small quantity

Some examples of the type of activity typically classified as state jail felonies are drug possession, credit card abuse, cruelty to animals, and burglary of a building. A state jail felony sentence can be punished with up to a 2 year incarceration period and fines up to $10,000. The jail time will be spent in a Texas state jail facility, and the convicted individual will not be eligible for parole.

If you or someone you love has been charged with a crime, having strong legal representation on your side can help you protect your rights and freedoms. Contact Bryan/College Station state jail felony attorneys Philip C. Banks and Amy A. Banks to discuss the facts of your case today
