⚖️ About This Charge

Offense

Evading Arrest or Detention

Texas Statute

Texas Penal Code § 38.04 ↗

Classification

Third-Degree Felony

Max Penalty

2–10 years in prison + up to $10,000 fine

Evading Arrest or Detention under Texas Penal Code § 38.04 occurs when a person intentionally flees from a peace officer who is lawfully attempting to arrest or detain them, and the person knows the officer is trying to do so. On foot, it is a Class A Misdemeanor (up to one year jail). Using a vehicle to flee — even briefly — elevates the charge to a State Jail Felony. If the flight causes serious injury or death, the charge becomes a Third or Second-Degree Felony respectively. A prior evading conviction also elevates the current charge.
