According to the Texas Penal Code, Title 5, Chapter 19.01 “A person commits criminal homicide if he intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence causes the death of an individual.”

There are different types and varying levels of Criminal Homicide, which include:

Murder - Unlawful killing of another person out of rage, or sudden passion without pre-meditation.

Capital Murder – An elevated charge above the murder charge. If convicted, this charge can bring a much harder penalty including the death penalty. A Capital Murder charge can arise from the allegation of pre-meditation, killing a police officer, killing more than one person and much more. If convicted, this charge will either bring life in prison or the death sentence.

Manslaughter - The killing of a person without premeditation or malice but with recklessness. This is a second degree felony charge.

Criminally Negligent Homicide – accidental death of an individual with criminal negligence. This is a state jail offense.

You have a lot at stake, including your reputation, future, and freedom if you have been charged with murder. A homicide conviction may carry with it a lengthy prison term, life sentence, or death penalty depending upon the circumstances.
