Below is a list of what Texas considers violent crimes, and our Conroe violent crime lawyers have experience with each of them.

Murder

Murder is a charge that comes with many variations, including murder in the first degree, which is intentional murder, felony murder, whereby someone is killed during the commission of another felony, second degree murder, manslaughter and voluntary manslaughter. Manslaughter generally connotes the fact that no intent was present. Defendants convicted of any homicide-related charge will almost always face several years in prison, and first degree murder convictions can include the death penalty.

Rape and Sexual Assault

Much like the homicide statutes, rape and sexual assault statutes contain several variances, and also much like homicide, the penalties for a conviction almost always carry heavy prison terms. Rape is generally defined as nonconsensual sexual contact with another, and it is a charge that often meets the extreme disapproval of juries.

Robbery/Burglary

Robbery and burglary are generally lumped together when analyzed, but they are quite different. Basically, robbery is the unlawful taking of another’s property while the victim is present while burglary is the unlawful taking of another’s material when the victim is not present. Convictions under either charge will carry significant jail terms.

Kidnapping

Kidnapping is the unlawful taking of a child against his or her will, and it is a felony in Texas as it is everywhere else. One thing to remember regarding kidnapping is that if the defendant moves the child across state lines, it becomes a federal crime, which means that stronger sentence recommendations are in place with a conviction.
