Charged with a crime in Texas? Start with these three answers.

What penalties am I facing?

It depends on the class of the charge. Texas Penal Code §§12.21–12.35 set the ranges, from a fine-only Class C misdemeanor (up to $500, §12.23) to a first-degree felony (5 to 99 years or life, §12.32). Your class depends on the statute, the facts alleged, and any prior record. The full table is on our page explaining how a Texas criminal case works.

How much will a criminal defense lawyer cost?

Your first consultation is free and confidential. After that, the fee depends on the charge, the county, and whether the case is headed to trial. Payment plans are available. Ask about the fee during your free consultation.

Can my case be dismissed?

Sometimes, yes. In Texas, a dismissal is a one-page motion signed by a prosecutor who has decided the case cannot be proven. Getting there means finding the weak points in the State's evidence early. Our number one goal in every case is a dismissal. That is a goal, not a promise. No lawyer can promise an outcome.

Calling for a family member? You don't need to know everything.

If someone you love was just arrested, have these four things ready if you can:

    1. Their full legal name
    2. Their date of birth
    3. The county where the charge was filed
    4. The charge, if you know it


Missing one? Call anyway. We answer 24/7, in English or Spanish.

If police want to talk to you or your family member: don’t explain, and don’t try to make a deal. Say you want your lawyer. Then call us.
