⚖️ Texas Law — Charge Details
Up to 1 year jail + $4,000 fine; or 2–10 years if deadly weapon used
Resisting Arrest, Search, or Transportation under Texas Penal Code § 38.03 makes it a crime to intentionally prevent or obstruct a peace officer from making a lawful arrest using force. This is a Class A Misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail, $4,000 fine). If the person uses a deadly weapon in resistance, the charge becomes a third-degree felony (2–10 years prison, $10,000 fine). Texas law does not recognize a 'right to resist' even an unlawful arrest — defendants must comply and contest the legality in court.
⚡ Potential Penalty Enhancements
| If this condition applies… | Charge escalates to | Statute |
|---|---|---|
| Deadly weapon used during resistance | Third-Degree Felony — 2–10 yrs prison, $10,000 fine | § 38.03(d) |
| Officer injured during resistance | May add Assault on Peace Officer (Third-Degree Felony) | § 22.01(b)(1) |
