Texas Penal Code Practice

What is the penalty for a Class "C" misdemeanor in Texas?

1. Up to $500 fine

2. No jail time

3. 30 days in jail

4. Community service

The correct answer is: Up to $500 fine

A Class "C" misdemeanor in Texas can result in a fine of up to $500, but it does not usually result in jail time or community service. This category of misdemeanor is the least serious and carries the lowest penalty. Option B and D are incorrect because they suggest no jail time or community service, respectively. Option C may seem like a possible answer due to the term "C" in the question, but it is incorrect because a Class "C" misdemeanor typically does not result in 30 days in jail in Texas. Option A is the most accurate because it reflects the potential penalty for a Class "C" misdemeanor in Texas.
