In all 50 states a felony is a crime that carries a penalty of one year or more in a state or federal prison, or the death penalty. A misdemeanor is a crime that carries a penalty of no more than one year in a county jail. By the way, there is a major difference between a jail and a prison, the terms are not synonymous. Texas, and perhaps other states, has a class of crime termed a "state jail felony." This, as one might infer, is a hybrid, a cross between a misdemeanor and a felony. This helped relieve prison overcrowding. The state built some jails (far less security than prisons) which incarcerate inmates for periods longer than one year. These are low to medium risk facilities.

You can get a felony expunged from your record if the charge was dismissed, the grand jury refuses to indict, or if you are arrested but not charged. A record may also be expunged in return for completing certain pre-trial diversion programs.

Tennessee does not appear to allow crimes for which you were convicted to be expunged.
