Potential Consequences of a Criminal Conviction in McAllen

Take all criminal charges-from misdemeanors to violent felonies- seriously. Any criminal conviction can harm your life, family, freedom, and livelihood. Here are just some of the consequences you could face if convicted of a crime in McAllen, especially if you do not have a skilled criminal defense attorney in your corner.

#1. Incarceration

Prison or jail time can take a catastrophic toll on your life. It tears families apart, and can easily lead to losing your job, your home, your possessions, your relationships, and your reputation.

#2. Monetary fines

Owing money for a criminal conviction can create financial hardship in numerous ways. It can reduce your income, destroy your credit, and prevent you from investing in your future.

#3. Probation

Probation acts as a drag on your life and your freedom, requiring you to submit to (among other burdens):

  • Regular check-ins with a parole officer;
  • Warrantless searches of your home and possessions;
  • Limits on your travel or activities;
  • Remote monitoring (i.e., wearing an ankle monitor); and
  • Routine drug and alcohol screening.

#4. Sex offender registration

Certain sex crime convictions result in mandatory registration as a sex offender, a listing of your personal information and photograph on the Texas Public Sex Offender Website, and a wide variety of limitations on where you can live, work, and travel both within and beyond Texas.

#5. Life difficulties

A criminal conviction also imposes many difficulties and challenges in a person’s life. It can bar you from holding certain jobs, living in certain places, and associating with certain people. It can limit your economic opportunities and prevent you from getting loans. And it comes with a loss of reputation and trust that can be difficult to recover.
