Organized Crime Charges
If you are charged with engaging in organized crime in Texas, you face enhanced penalties. This means that the consequences of a conviction will be significantly higher than if you were accused of acting alone.
Organized crime is a broad category that encompasses everything from racketeering and gang activity to white collar crimes. This is a complex area of law and calls for assistance from an experienced defense lawyer.
For example, if there are a series of burglaries or thefts and the State can prove that there are several suspects who acted in conjunction with each other to steal other peoples' property then they may be able to enhance what would otherwise be a lesser charge. Say 5 young men went out and stole property that collectively was worth less than $1,500: Tthe offense would be a Class A misdeamor of "Theft >$500 <$1,500". However, if those 5 young men were working in conjunction with each other to steal the property and sell it to someone else for a profit, then they could each be indicted for a State Jail Felony of Engaging in Organized Crime.
