Getting arrested for murder is an extremely serious charge that may result in life imprisonment or even the death penalty. Even if you know you will be charged with murder, exercising your right to remain silent and seeking legal defense attorney are the two immediate steps you can take to positively influence your future case.

According to Texas Penal Law, there are different types of criminal homicide cases that you could be charged with. If you intentionally, recklessly, or with criminal negligence caused the death of another person, you can be convicted of committing criminal homicide.

 The types of criminal homicide include:

Murder - If you knowingly caused the death of an individual, or were intending to cause serious bodily injuries and committed an act which is dangerous to human life and costs the person his life, you can be charged with murder. This is considered as either a first degree or second-degree felony, depending on the circumstances of one’s case, which can result in life imprisonment.

Capital Murder - The murder of a police officer while in their official duties or hiring someone to commit murder is a capital felony which results in imprisonment for life or death punishment.

Manslaughter - If your reckless actions or inactions cause death of another person, you could be charged with a felony of the second degree, which results in 20 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 fines.
