Homicide Charges in Texas: What You Need to Know

Under the Texas Penal Code (Title 5, Chapter 19), criminal homicide involves any act that results in the unlawful death of another person. The statute classifies these offenses into four categories, each with serious legal and life consequences.

Murder (Section 19.02)

You may be charged with murder if you:

• Knowingly or intentionally cause the death of another person.
• Inflict serious bodily harm that leads to death.
• Cause a death while committing a felony (other than manslaughter).

Penalty: First-degree felony — 5 to 99 years or life imprisonment.

Capital Murder (Section 19.03)

This elevated charge applies when the murder involves certain aggravating circumstances, such as:

• Killing a public servant, like a police officer or firefighter.
• Committing murder during the commission of another felony.
• Engaging in a murder-for-hire scheme.
• Causing multiple deaths or killing a child under 15.

Penalty: Capital felony — life without parole or the death penalty.

Manslaughter (Section 19.04)

Manslaughter occurs when someone recklessly causes another person’s death without premeditation or intent.

Penalty: Second-degree felony — 2 to 20 years in prison.

Criminally Negligent Homicide (Section 19.05)

Charged when someone’s failure to perceive or act upon a substantial risk results in a fatality.

Penalty: State jail felony — 180 days to 2 years in a state jail facility.
