Common Questions About Robbery Law

All robbery offenses are considered felonies in Texas, with no misdemeanor robbery classification in the Texas Penal Code. Prosecutors may pursue first-degree or second-degree charges after assessing the facts of each case.

The best defenses to robbery charges may include an alibi that proves you weren’t at the scene of the crime, mistaken identity, the absence of threats, and challenges to the credibility of witnesses. Your robbery attorney may also identify issues like unlawful searches and improper police procedures.

If you’re accused of a robbery, exercise your right to remain silent and speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney. Your attorney will challenge prosecution evidence and develop a defense strategy after investigating the case.
