Burglary
Houston Burglary Lawyer
Burglary is a serious offense. Those who are accused need a defense attorney who will walk them through the charges that are against them, as well as review all the defense options that are available. In Texas, the law defines burglary as an unlawful entry into a private structure or dwelling with the intent of committing a theft or assault. An individual may be convicted of burglary even if the intended crime did not come to fruition.
If charged with a burglary offense, the accused should contact a reputable burglary lawyer at once. Some burglaries are felonies in Texas. Therefore, it is crucial that the hired legal representative be fully committed to delivering the best defense possible.
Penalties for Conviction
The penalty for burglary varies depending on the type of location that is burglarized. Some examples of penalties include:
- Jail sentences that range from six months to two years
- Fines up to $10,000
If the accused has been convicted of burglary more than twice, his or her charge may be escalated to a state jail felony.
