Evading Arrest or Detention under Texas Penal Code § 38.04 is committed when a person intentionally flees from a peace officer attempting a lawful arrest. On foot, it is a Class B Misdemeanor. If the person uses a vehicle, the charge becomes a State Jail Felony (180 days–2 years). If there is a prior conviction for evading arrest, or a third party suffers serious injury or death, the offense escalates to a third-degree or second-degree felony. High-speed pursuits often result in additional charges.
