In Texas, misdemeanors are categorized into three classes

In Texas, misdemeanors are categorized into three classes based on their severity, with Class A misdemeanors being the most serious. Here’s a brief overview:

Class A Misdemeanors: These carry the harshest penalties among misdemeanors, with potential punishments of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. Examples include assault, violating a protective order, criminal trespass of a home, perjury, and burglary of a vehicle. Ma will result in the second instance of the same offense – DWI is the most common one I see.

Class B Misdemeanors: Conviction can result in up to 180 days’ jail time and a $2,000 fine. Indecent exposure, criminal mischief, and obstructing a roadway are some examples. DWI and POM (possession of Marijuana are the Mb charges I see most often.

Class C Misdemeanors: These are fine-only offenses with no jail time, carrying a maximum fine of $500. Public intoxication, petty theft under $100, and disorderly conduct offenses fall into this category.

Enhanced penalties may apply for repeat offenses or if the misdemeanor involves a vulnerable or protected individual, or is committed in a declared disaster or evacuation area. In some cases, misdemeanors can escalate to felonies based on prior convictions or the level of harm involved.

Understanding these distinctions can help you navigate rental criteria, or for simplification, contact an apartment locator that specializes in helping people with criminal issues.

Why don't I guarantee your acceptance into the Apartments?

I start with the Information you give me, then:

• I look up the criminal but only where you tell me to search. If you tell me you were convicted in Texas, then I don't look in Indiana or Florida (or any other state)

• I depend on the amount of income you indicated, if it's low, I ask you if it was the GROSS (or pre-tax income) and not the NET (or paycheck income) but that's all

• Unless you tell me, I don't know if you had any Rental History problems like a broken lease or an eviction. I do tell you to run your credit report and will provide you how to run it, but it's up to you.

• I don't research a roommate or girlfriend or boyfriend or spouse unless you tell me

• I don't control the timeframe. What I mean is if I check out the place in February and you take that information and don't apply until June - the information I gave you in February will probably not be valid in June

I control only one part of the pie. You control most of it. I count on you to follow the steps I give you, including getting back to me on a timely basis.

That's why I can't guarantee acceptance.

The 4 Big Questions for your Apartment Finder or Locator - Question 3 of 4

 

ASK "HAVE YOU HANDLED A CASE LIKE MINE?"

Be precise. Give them the precise charge, such as felony or misdemeanor DWI. Examine them closely to determine whether their goal is to get you into the best place or merely to get you into any place that pays a commission.

Press them, "Have you successfully placed anybody under this charge?" 

If not, find someone else.

Apartments and Pending or Active Charges

In today's society, you can be accused of a crime by a spurned lover or former spouse or someone who for some reason wants to cause you trouble.

Often, this situation leads to real rental issues because most apartments won't work with you due to your arrest.

You might say "I thought everyone was innocent until proven guilty" but apparently most apartments don't want to take the chance or find the policy to reject easier to implement.

I know the nice apartments that will work with a pending charge. In most cases, these apartments require a "clean" record.
