This can vary slightly by state (from highest punishment to lowest): * Capital Felony * First Degree Felony * Second Degree Felony * Third Degree Felony * State Jail Felony (different states name this differently).
It is a first degree felony. Punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison. It must be noted that under Texas law a person can use deadly force to stop a burglary.
The answer is in the Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 481.115(d). Possession of methamphetamine (a Penalty Group 1 substance) is a second degree felony. The Texas Penal Code, Section 12.33 says punishment for a second degree felony ranges from 2-20 years in prison and a fine of not more than $10,000. However, under the Penal Code, Section 12.42, a second conviction is "enhanced" by a previous conviction. If the previous conviction was also a second degree felony, then the second conviction is eligible to be enhanced to a first degree felony which ranges in punishment from 5-99 years in prison and a fine of not more than $10,000.
I cannot speak for states other than Texas on this, but it would be logical if others handle it the same way. In Texas, an attempted crime is one grade lower than if the crime had been committed. For example, if you attempt a first degree felony, it is classified as a second degree felony. If you attempt a second degree felony, it is classified as a third degree felony, and so on.
Attempted what?. In general attempted offenses are punishable one degree lower than the completed offense, so if you attempt a first degree felony, it is a second degree felony, etc.
First conviction is a first degree misdemeanor and second conviction is a fifth degree felony.
could be just PROBATION for 5 years if it was FIRST offense Meaning first FELONY
Texas felony murder occurs when one "commits or attempts to commit a felony, other than manslaughter, and in the course of and in furtherance of the commission or attempt, or in immediate flight from the commission or attempt, he commits or attempts to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual." Texas Penal Code sec. 19.02(b)(3).
Any second DWI conviction is a felony in Texas. A first DWI is a felony if there is a person 15 years or younger in the car, otherwise the first DWI is a misdemeanor.
