Plano Robbery Defense Lawyers
When many people think of theft crimes, they often mix up the terms thievery and robbery, unaware that they mean two different things. An act of robbery is typically considered stealing from someone who is directly present and aware of the unlawful act. It is also not uncommon for aggression, physical force, or menacing threats to be included in a robbery charge, which can escalate it to the more serious crime of aggravated robbery.
If you are facing accusations of robbery, you need to contact a Plano theft crime lawyer you can trust.

Understanding the Serious Consequences of a Robbery Charge
In most cases, a robbery charge will be considered a second degree felony in the Texas State penal system. In order to combat this serious accusation, you may have to prove that you did not commit the crime as it is being described. For example, you might not have had any knowledge that you were actually stealing an item or the victim might not have felt any real danger or threat.
If you do not properly prepare for your case in court with an attorney, you could be punished by:
- Two to 20 years in prison
- Up to $10,000 fines
- Lengthy probation
- Loss of child custody rights
An escalation of your charges to aggravated robbery, which could happen due to the introduction of a weapon or serious harm to the victim, will bring even harsher penalties. In certain circumstances, this act can be considered a first degree felony and carry up 99 years behind bars.
