Jail Time Exposure Calculator

This calculator is designed to give a general, big-picture look at potential jail or prison exposure for common Texas charges. It uses statutory ranges and common enhancement scenarios to help you understand how punishment levels can change based on the type of charge and prior history.

The results are meant to be informational only and reflect jail or prison exposure—not predictions about how your case will resolve. Many cases involve additional factors or alternative outcomes, such as dismissals, reductions, probation or community supervision, fines, or other collateral consequences that are not shown here. Every situation is different, and the specific facts of your case matter.

If you have questions about how these guidelines apply to you, or want advice tailored to your circumstances, contact our office to speak with an attorney.

Jail Time Exposure Calculator (General Guidelines)

Select a charge and answer the prior-history question to see a general punishment range.

Important Disclaimer: This calculator provides general punishment-range information only and is not legal advice. Use of this calculator does not create an attorney–client relationship. The ranges shown address jail/prison exposure only. Actual exposure may vary based on the facts of the case, criminal history, how the case is charged, and the District Attorney’s charging decisions and discretion. Other outcomes or consequences may exist in addition to or in lieu of jail time (including but not limited to dismissals, reductions, probation/community supervision, fines, fees, license consequences, immigration issues, firearm restrictions, protective orders, restitution, registration requirements, and other collateral consequences). Criminal laws and enhancement rules are complex and case-specific. To obtain advice about your situation, consult a qualified attorney.
