Texas Penal Code divides offenses into two major categories: felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are more egregious crimes for which a person may be sentenced to imprisonment or to death. Misdemeanors are less serious acts for which a person may be sentenced to imprisonment in a jail and/or a fine and probation. Texas Criminal Code is very specific. Any deviance from it is considered a violation and can be prosecuted.
Homicide is defined as unlawfully causing the death of another person. There are four types of homicide classified by degree of intent and the status of the victim: capital murder, murder, manslaughter, and criminally negligent homicide. Homicides are generally felonies.
