Yes, Texas has a "three strikes" law, which is formally known as the "three-time repeat offender" statute. Under this law, individuals convicted of certain serious felonies can face enhanced penalties if they have two prior felony convictions. Specifically, a third felony conviction can lead to a life sentence. This law is part of Texas's broader approach to addressing repeat offenders and serious crimes.
