In Texas there are three classes of misdemeanor offenses: Class A, B, and C. The punishment ranges for these offense are listed below. Keep in mind, these punishment ranges are for first offenses. If you have a prior offense on your record and are charged with a new misdemeanor offense, it is possible that the punishment range will be enhanced by the State. That means the fines can go up and more jail time could be possible.
Offense Fine Jail Time
Class C Misdemeanor up to $500.00 none
Class B Misdemeanor up to $2,000.00 up to 180 days in County Jail
Class A Misdemeanor up to $4,000.00 up to 1 year in County Jail
