Which offense in Texas carries a potential fine of up to $4,000 and up to 1 year in jail?

  1. State Jail Felony

  2. 2nd Degree Felony

  3. Class "A" Misdemeanor

  4. Class "C" Misdemeanor

The correct answer is: Class "A" Misdemeanor

In Texas, a Class "A" Misdemeanor is the offense that carries a potential fine of up to $4,000 and up to 1 year in jail. This category of misdemeanor is more serious than a Class "C" Misdemeanor but less severe than a State Jail Felony or 2nd Degree Felony. Class "A" Misdemeanors include offenses such as certain types of assault, theft over a certain amount, and certain types of drug possession crimes. These offenses are punishable by a higher fine and longer jail time compared to Class "C" Misdemeanors, making it the correct answer to the question.
