Texas Penalties for Violent Crimes

Violent crimes are taken so seriously by the courts due to their threat to public safety. These crimes are generally charged as felonies, which can leave you with a permanent criminal record that restricts your right to own a firearm, renders you unable to pursue certain occupations, prevents you from receiving certain kinds of government assistance, and even affects your ability to find a job or rent a home.
