Class C Misdemeanor Punishment is:

• A. Fine not to exceed $500
• B. Confinement in jail not to exceed one year
• C. Life imprisonment
• D. 2-10 years

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how penalties are assigned to Class C misdemeanors in Texas. Class C misdemeanors are the least serious offenses and are punished by a fine only, with no jail time. The maximum fine is $500. The other options describe confinement or long imprisonment, which are penalties for higher offenses (Class A/B misdemeanors or felonies), not for Class C. So the best answer is a fine not to exceed $500.
