Which felony level carries 5-99 years?

Which felony level carries 5-99 years?

• A. 1st Degree Felony
• B. 2nd Degree Felony
• C. State Jail Felony
• D. Capital Felony

Answer: (A)

Focus on how Texas assigns punishments to felony levels. The 5 to 99 years range is tied to a first-degree felony. Capital felonies carry life or the death penalty; second-degree felonies range from 2 to 20 years; state jail felonies are 180 days to 2 years. First-degree felonies are punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison, or life, making this the level that matches the 5-99 year span. That’s why this option fits the question.
