Weapon Crimes
Williamson County Weapon Crimes Defense Lawyer
In Texas, gun and weapons charges are often combined with other criminal charges, including robbery, burglary, assault, and a variety of others. A conviction for a felony weapons charge can carry serious criminal consequences, including a jail or prison sentence. Worse, if convicted and sent to the penitentiary, an individual who used or exhibited a deadly weapon in their crime must serve half their sentence before they are eligible for parole.

According to law, a dangerous or deadly weapon can be defined as anything designed or adapted for lethal use or that is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury. Common items such as knives and guns may be classified under this definition, but the law also includes items such as such as baseball bats or automobiles, and even one’ s own hands!
