Common Questions About Misdemeanor

  • Can a misdemeanor affect my job or housing in Texas?

    Yes. Misdemeanors can appear on background checks and affect employment, housing, or educational opportunities. That’s why early legal intervention matters.

  • What are the penalties for a first-time misdemeanor in Houston?

    Penalties can include fines, probation, community service, or even jail time depending on the charge. We help you understand your options and fight for the best result.

  • Can I get a misdemeanor dismissed or expunged?

    In some cases, yes. Dismissals, deferred adjudication, and expunctions may be possible depending on the charge and your record. We’ll evaluate your case and explain your eligibility.

  • Should I get a lawyer for a Class C misdemeanor?

    Yes—especially if you want to avoid a conviction on your record. Legal guidance can help reduce penalties, seek dismissal, or prevent long-term consequences.
