Texas Murder and Manslaughter Charges
Homicide is one of the most serious crimes anyone can be accused of committing. However, not all homicides are treated the same way, and they are categorized differently. Manslaughter charges occur when a person causes a fatality of another without intent to cause serious harm or death, such as in a car accident or by other irresponsible behavior. Murder applies in cases where there was intent or a predetermined decision to take a person’s life. There are various degrees of manslaughter and murder charges, and we represent clients facing any of them as well as other similar charges, such as:
- Murder
- Capital murder
- Manslaughter
- Deadly conduct
- Aiding suicide
