A robbery occurs when a person forcibly takes property from another person. During a robbery, the perpetrator often uses or threatens to use a weapon. Penalties for Aggravated Robbery can include prison time of up to Life, and if a deadly weapon is found to be used by the Court, then the defendant is only eligible for probation from the jury. 

A robbery accusation is very serious in Texas. Robbery is the illegal taking of property from someone else’s personal possession by using violence or intimidation. Robbery is categorized as either First, Second or Third degree felonies.  The category of the classification depends on how the robbery was committed or the results of the crime.

 

In addition, if you are convicted of robbery or any felony in Texas, you will lose your rights to possess a firearm for at least 5 years after you are released from your sentence.  And then you may only have it in your home.  You may never legally possess a firearm under Federal Law and you would be severely punished by the Federal authorities if you are arrested as a Felon in Possession of a Firearm
