Generally, a crime punishable by imprisonment of one year or more is considered a felony. People convicted of felonies are sentenced to state or federal prison. Certain felonies are punishable by death. In contrast, misdemeanors are less serious offenses such as shoplifting or trespassing. Misdemeanors are punishable by less than one year of imprisonment and those who are convicted may be sentenced to local, city or county jail.

In Texas, misdemeanors are categorized into three classes -- A, B and C.

Class A misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year in jail as well as a fine not to exceed $4,000. Under Texas law, Class A misdemeanors include assault causing bodily injury, second offenses of driving while intoxicated (DWI), and theft of property with a value of $500 to $1,500.

Class B misdemeanors are punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 and/or confinement in jail of up to six months (180 days). Examples of Class B misdemeanors are first offenses of driving while intoxicated (DWI), possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, and theft of property with a value of $50 to $500.

Class C misdemeanors do not include any jail time. Public intoxication, traffic offenses, minors in possession of alcohol, and disorderly conduct offenses are types of Class C misdemeanors.
Class A and Class B misdemeanors are heard in the County Courts-at-Law, while Class C misdemeanors are heard either in Municipal Court (if the offense allegedly occurred in the city limits) or in the Justice of the Peace courts (if the offense allegedly occurred outside the city limits). Penalties can also include probation and community service.

Having a misdemeanor conviction on your record is less serious than a felony conviction but it can still impact your future by affecting your ability to get everything from a job to a loan to a professional license. For example, many employers perform background checks and may not hire an applicant with a criminal background, and schools may reject applications from students with criminal records.

Anyone charged with a sex crime faces the possibility of lengthy prison time and the label of "sex offender." In Texas, adult sex offenders are required to register anywhere from 10 years to life after they are discharged from state supervision. The length of required registration depends on the crime. For example, lifetime registration is required for offenses such as possession of child pornography, prohibited sexual conduct (incest), and sexual assault.

There is a wide variety of criminal offenses that are typically grouped under the category of sex offenses. They include:

Rape (including statutory rape and spousal rape)
Sexual abuse
Child molestation
Indecent exposure
Prostitution
Lewd conduct
Possession of child pornography
