Dallas Robbery Defense Lawyer

Texas defines robbery as a theft crime where an individual intentionally or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person, threatens injury, or places the victim in reasonable fear of injury.  A crime of this kind is a second-degree felony in Texas, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.

Aggravated robbery is a more serious form of this offense.  It is a robbery involving the enhanced factors of causing serious bodily injury to another, brandishing or using a deadly weapon, or robbing a victim who is over 65 years old or disabled.  Aggravated robbery is a first-degree felony and a conviction may result in up to life in prison as well as a fine up to $10,000.
