Your Trusted Advocates in State Legal Matters

Robbery is a grave offense that occurs when one person forcefully takes another's property, often involving the use or threat of a weapon. The repercussions for Aggravated Robbery can be severe, potentially resulting in a life sentence, and in cases where a deadly weapon is involved, the possibility of probation is removed from the equation.

A robbery allegation carries substantial weight in Texas, as it involves the unlawful seizure of property through violence or intimidation. The severity of the robbery is classified as either a First, Second, or Third-degree felony, contingent upon the method used or the outcome of the crime.

Furthermore, a robbery conviction in Texas has far-reaching consequences. It leads to a forfeiture of your firearm possession rights for at least five years post-release, with limited possession exclusively within your home. Federal law strictly prohibits firearm possession, and any arrest for Felon in Possession of a Firearm can result in severe federal penalties.

Moreover, a robbery conviction can tarnish your future employment prospects, voting rights, and community standing. Protecting your future necessitates the immediate retention of an assertive criminal defense attorney. At Boren & Mims, our attorneys exclusively focus on criminal defense cases, boasting the expertise required to safeguard your rights and preserve your freedom.

Robbery charges in Texas are classified into three categories:

Aggravated Robbery: This charge is levied when the victim sustains serious injuries during the robbery, or when the perpetrator wields a deadly weapon and threatens its use against the victim.
