Charged With a Crime in Houston, Texas?
Each criminal charge carries a variety of potential penalties that are designed to punish and deter crime. Seeking defense services from a lawyer familiar with Texas criminal laws is essential to fully protect yourself from the potential consequences of a criminal conviction.
If you are convicted of domestic violence, for example, you will lose your right to carry a firearm. A second domestic violence conviction is an automatic felony. An arrest for drunk driving will result in an automatic driver's license revocation if you do not request an ALR hearing within 15 days. A drug conviction may result in court-ordered treatment. A theft conviction implies dishonesty and can be devastating if you are applying for a job.
If you have been arrested and are facing criminal charges, take control of your case. Contact an attorney. To speak with a lawyer at The Downing Law Firm, call 713-400-5333.
