Although a class A misdemeanor is not as serious as a felony, it is important to avoid having such a conviction on your permanent record. A misdemeanor attorney is best to be hired so that they can help you navigate around the legal implications.

A class A arrest is only able to be removed from an individual’s permanent record only in two instances. For an example, let’s say you are not being found guilty at a trial. Or that the case has been dismissed before the trial begins. In both of these cases it will take an experienced attorney dealing with misdemeanors so that the best attempt can be made to avoid a charge like this from being documented on your permanent record.

Those people that are charged with a misdemeanor in the great state of Texas, there are three different levels of misdemeanors that step up with severity depending on the type of crime. They are classes A, B, and C.

The misdemeanor class C is the least most severe with a fine of $500 maximum. The second is class B.  This comes with a punishment of a maximum 180 days in a local prison and a find of $2,000 maximum.  The third is class A.  This not only has the most outrageous fines but the maximum amount of jail time.  If you are the lucky one convicted, it is punishable by a maximum of 1 year in jail and a fine that is a whopping $4,000.  Avoid all misdemeanors, especially Class A misdemeanor.
