Conspiracy Charges

San Antonio Conspiracy Lawyer
Attempt & Conspiracy Attorney Texas

ATTEMPT

If someone takes a substantial step toward committing the crime with the intent to commit that crime may be charged with attempt to commit a crime. Simply thinking about perpetrating a crime, or even preparation for it, is not a crime. There must be a substantial step. For example, if someone buys a gun with intent commit a murder, the act of buying the gun is just preparation. However, going to the intended victim’s house after buying a gun with intent to commit the murder may be a substantial step that is enough to charge a person with attempting to commit a crime. Being charged with an attempted crime is a serious charge. A person that is charged with attempting a crime Texas is subject to punishment just one level lower than if he or she actually committed the crime. If the example above would have been a capital murder charge, then the penalty for attempting to commit that crime could still bring life in prison if found guilty.

CONSPIRACY

A conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime. For example, if two people agree to rob a bank, at least one of them takes action to further the conspiracy, and the robbery actually occurs, they can both be charged with both conspiracy and robbery. Even if one of the conspirators backs out of the conspiracy, but the other conspirators commit the crime, both conspirators may be criminally liable if the acts were reasonably foreseeable. The punishment for conspiracy in Texas is the same as attempt. If found guilty, the defendant will receive a penalty one level below the actual crime.
