Understanding Criminal Homicide Balcones Woods Charges
Under Title 5, Chapter 19, Sec. 19.01.AA of the Texas Penal Code, criminal homicide is defined as causing the death of another person intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or through criminal negligence. Homicide Balcones Woods charges include murder, capital murder, manslaughter, and criminally negligent homicide—each carrying unique legal implications and penalties.
Murder
Murder charges under homicide Balcones Woods cases may include:
- Intentionally or knowingly causing the death of another individual.
- Causing death through an act clearly dangerous to human life while intending to cause serious bodily injury.
- Causing a death during the commission or attempted commission of a felony (other than manslaughter) through an act clearly dangerous to human life.
Capital Murder
Capital murder charges in homicide Balcones Woods cases may apply when:
- Killing a peace officer or firefighter in the line of duty.
- Committing murder during felonies such as kidnapping, burglary, or robbery.
- Murder for hire or in exchange for remuneration.
- Murder while escaping from a penal institution or killing an employee or inmate of such an institution.
- Committing murder while serving a sentence for serious offenses or having prior capital murder convictions.
- Multiple murders occurring during the same criminal act or as part of a single scheme.
- Murder of a child under 15 years of age or in retaliation against a judge or justice.
Capital murder is classified as a capital felony, carrying the most severe penalties, including life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty.
Manslaughter
In homicide Balcones Woods cases, manslaughter occurs when a person recklessly causes another’s death. This second-degree felony recognizes the seriousness of reckless behavior—even without the intent to kill.
Criminally Negligent Homicide
Criminally negligent homicide results when death occurs due to criminal negligence, where failure to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk represents a significant deviation from standard care. This offense is classified as a state jail felony.
