Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Based on what you have written, the bad check charge can be based off the original amount which may justify a Class A Misdemeanor charge. There are many factors which are considered by the prosecuting attorney's office as to what level of charge to proceed with against an individual. You should consider consulting with a local law firm to assist you with this legal matter. If my local law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact us at [email protected] to arrange for an initial consultation.

For this matter to merit a Class A check, the amount of the hot check would have to be above $500. If it was below that amount, then only a Class B charge would be justified by the facts.

I would suggest speaking to a local criminal defense attorney. He or she can give you a better idea of what your options are and whether your current case is appropriately charged.
