Texas Penal Code § 12.03. CLASSIFICATION OF MISDEMEANORS.  (a) Misdemeanors are classified according to the relative seriousness of the offense into three categories:\n(1)  Class A misdemeanors;                                                    \n(2)  Class B misdemeanors;                                                    \n(3)  Class C misdemeanors.                                                    \n(b)  An offense designated a misdemeanor in this code without specification as to punishment or category is a Class C misdemeanor.\n(c)  Conviction of a Class C misdemeanor does not impose any legal disability or disadvantage.

That depends on what the warrant is for; ie, a felony versus a misdemeanor.

The designation of crimes as Class A or B misdemeanors is pretty arbitrary, the main difference is in punishment:\nClass A is punished more then Class B\nExamples Of Class A include: Dog Fighting, False Alarm or Report, Abuse of Corpse etc etc\nExamples Of Class B include: Failure to Identify, False Statement to Obtain Property or Credit, Issuance of Bad Check etc etc \nThere are also Class C Misdemeanors for really minor offenses like: Illegal Recruitment of an Athlete, Assault in a fight by mutual agreement, etc etc.\nJust look it up in the Penal Code if you want to know what crime is which class(link in the source area)\n\nTex. Penal Code § 12.21 (2005):\nAn individual adjudged guilty of a Class A misdemeanor shall be punished by: \n(1) a fine not to exceed $ 4,000; \n(2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed one year; or \n(3) both such fine and confinement.\nWhile, Tex. Penal Code § 12.22 (2005) says:\n§ 12.22. Class B Misdemeanor\n\n\nAn individual adjudged guilty of a Class B misdemeanor shall be punished by: \n(1) a fine not to exceed $ 2,000; \n(2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days; or \n(3) both such fine and confinement.

In OH, it is still a misdemeanor, but it is a first degree misdemeanor...meaning you can go to jail for up to one year. Guess what? So can the friend who is lending you her DL. It is not worth the risk. In FL, the penalties are worse...\n\nIf you want to see the statute, go to the link below. Go to the Ohio Revised Code section and place in the following code: 4507.30. Hope that helps.

It depends on what state you're in.  In my state the maximum penalty for a class A misdemeanor is one year in jail AND a $5,000 fine, unless it's a traffic crime, then the fine goes up to $6,250.\n\nFirst degree trespass, eh?  Sounds like you should have left their house when they told you, not gone to their house to begin with, or stayed away from railroad / public utility property :o)

Burglary 2 is not necessarily breaking and entering. It is entering a building with the intent to commit a crime there. That is a Class C felony, punishable by up to 5 years and up to $125,000 with no mandatory minimum. Breaking and entering would more likely fall under criminal trespass, a class A misdemeanor. Look at the sites below for a full definition of each of the crimes.

I'm a police officer in Texas and I can tell you what Texas law allows. In Texas there is a 2yr statute of limitations for Misdemeanor offenses from the date of the violation, or the date the officer first became aware of the offense in which to file a complaint in court. However, it's not very ethical and you can surely bring it up in court before a judge or jury if you request a jury trial. Did you do anything after he originally let you go that might cause him to take that action? Even if you did, I think you can have him explain to the court why he did that; just on face value from what you said it implies a personal bias against you or harrassment or retaliation at worst. That's a criminal offense if proven against an officer. I'd suggest calling the Internal Affairs division of the agency he works for and / or a supervisor. You can seek free legal advice from your local State Bar Association or attorney's where you live, and you can plead "no contest" if you want which is a plea that finds you guilty of the offense but does not imply a confession, and allows you to explain to the judge what happened and usually results in the fine being cut in half.
