How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost in Texas?

Texas criminal defense is most often quoted as a flat fee tied to the offense level and the stage of the case, because the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit contingent fees in criminal matters. The fee generally scales with exposure — a Class C misdemeanor sits at the low end, a first-degree felony at the high end — and most agreements price pre-trial representation separately from trial, since the overwhelming majority of cases resolve before a jury is seated. Court costs, bond, and testing or class fees imposed as conditions are separate from the attorney's fee.
