Understanding Murder and Manslaughter Charges in Texas
In Texas, both murder and manslaughter charges carry significant penalties, with the key distinction being intent. A manslaughter conviction, as defined by the Texas Penal Code, Title 5, Chapter 19, requires evidence that the accused caused the death of another person recklessly. In contrast, murder charges typically involve a premeditated intent to cause harm. The range of penalties for either charge can include prison sentences, exorbitant fines, and life-long repercussions on personal and professional progression. It is crucial to have an experienced defense attorney like David Olivas to build your case.
The Consequence of Murder and Manslaughter Charges in Texas
When it comes to facing manslaughter or murder charges in Texas, the stakes are incredibly high. Both offenses are considered felonies, with manslaughter falling under the classification of a second-degree felony and murder categorized as a first-degree felony.
The potential penalties that accompany these charges are severe:
- Manslaughter carries a prison sentence ranging from 2 to 20 years, while murder can result in life imprisonment or even the death penalty.
- In addition to the prison sentence, those convicted of manslaughter may face substantial fines, which can reach up to $10,000. The fines for murder can be even higher.
- Furthermore, the consequences of these convictions extend beyond the legal realm, impacting employment opportunities, loan approvals, housing prospects, and civil rights.
