What is the punishment range for a third 3rd degree felony in Texas?



                                                        


Question?

My brother is 17th he is being charged with 3 felony Burglary of a Habitation. He has gotta in trouble before but nothing this bad, what will the judge think of him with 3 felony Can the attorney work something out? He's in jail we'll I write this we paid the jail release just waiting to see what happens next. Is there hope for him and my family?



The punishment range for burglary of a habitation is either a 2nd degree or a first degree felony dependent on the facts of the burglary.

It is a second degree felony if the burglary was for theft purposes only. The punishment is anywhere between 2-20 years up to $10,000 fine or probation if probation eligible.

It is a first degree felony if the person enters the habitation to commit a felony other than felony theft. Like assault or robbery. Then the range of punishment is between 5-99 years and up to a $10,000 fine.

It's difficult for any attorney to give you a prediction of what will happen not knowing the facts and circumstances of your brothers case.

These sentences can either run concurrently together or consecutively.

What I can tell you is that he needs the best representation possible to help him through this process.
