Misdemeanor offenses are the least serious criminal charges. Infractions – which are less serious violations than misdemeanors – are not crimes.
Pursuant to Texas Penal Code § 12.34, a Third Degree Felony is punishable between two to ten years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. Depending on the alleged offense and a defendant's criminal history, a defendant may be eligible for community supervision probation.
A 3rd degree Felony has a punishment range of anywhere from 2-10 years in jail with a fine not to exceed $10,000.
Typically, first offender programs require participants to attend certain classes, undergo treatment or counseling, and remain on probation for a period of time. In exchange, the probation may not be officially entered in the record, and the defendant may avoid jail time and other serious consequences.
If a person is found guilty of a 3rd Degree Felony in Texas, then the person can be sent to prison (Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Institutional Division) for 2 years to 10 years. The person can also be fined up to $10,000.
Pursuant to Texas Penal Code § 12.34, a Third Degree Felony is punishable between two to ten years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. Depending on the alleged offense and a defendant's criminal history, a defendant may be eligible for community supervision probation.
A defendant convicted of a third-degree felony faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. (This maximum can increase if the offender used a dangerous weapon, commits repeat felonies, or other factors exist.) Repeat stalking and child endangerment (exposure to drugs) are third-degree felonies.
The least serious misdemeanors are classified as Class C or Level Three. These crimes can result in fines and jail time of up to a year, and may also offer the chance of probation.
Third degree felonies are the least serious type of felony, and are punishable by a shorter prison sentence and smaller fines.
