Explanation of Table
The information provided in this table includes the statute citation (Column One), a brief description of the offense (Column Two), and the felony category for each felony offense
found in statute (Column Three).
Some statute sections provide for exceptional sentencing for a range of offenses, rather than provide a specific category of penalty. These sections are categorized as "Other" in
Column Three of the table. If a felony class penalty is not categorized as a capital, first degree, second degree, third degree, or state jail felony, the felony category is listed as
"Uncategorized" and a description of the punishment is provided. Sections 12.31, 12.32, 12.33, 12.34, and 12.35, Penal Code, provide the punishments for capital, first degree,
second degree, third degree, and state jail felonies.
Two unique felony categories are referenced in the Parks and Wildlife Code. As described by Section 12.4061, Parks and Wildlife Code, a Parks and Wildlife Code state jail
felony is punishable by confinement in a state jail for a term of not more than two years or less than 180 days and may include a fine of not less than $1,500 and not more than
$10,000. A Parks and Wildlife Code felony, described in Section 12.407, Parks and Wildlife Code, is punishable by confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for a
term of not more than 10 years or less than two years and may include a fine of not less than $2,000 nor more than $10,000.
Many of the offenses included in the table have multiple penalty categories that apply to the offense based on certain circumstances (e.g. for a subsequent offense or if a certain
amount of money is involved). Although a number of the offenses with multiple penalty categories include misdemeanor penalties, we have addressed only those penalties for
offenses that are categorized as felonies. If an offense has more than one felony penalty category, each penalty category connected to the offense has a separate entry on the table.
