When you hear the word felony, your stress levels are likely to skyrocket—and for good reason. A felony conviction in Texas can come with multiple years of incarceration, hefty fines, and numerous other penalties and collateral consequences that could strain relationships, make it difficult to find employment and housing, and revoke your rights.
Although being charged with a felony is very serious, your fate is not sealed. At least, that is what our dedicated team of Amarillo felony defense lawyers believes. On your behalf, we can work tirelessly to challenge the prosecution’s evidence, negotiate for lesser charges or sentencing, and even fight to have your charges dropped altogether.
If you have been arrested for a felony offense or are under investigation, do not wait to contact Tisdell Law Firm. Call (806) 216-3226 or reach out online to request a confidential, free consultation.

Can Felony Charges Be Reduced?
In short, yes. This is something we often try to accomplish on behalf of our clients. Presenting new evidence, highlighting procedural errors, and taking other actions can allow us to obtain reduced felony charges. In certain cases, the law may even allow us to have a state jail felony reduced to a misdemeanor.
Possible Defenses Against Felony Charges
Our talented team has extensive experience handling complex and high-stakes felony cases in Texas and Colorado. If you work with us, we will put our know-how into action from day one. Depending on what we believe will or will not work in your case, we can take numerous defense approaches.
Possible defenses against felony charges include:
- Lack of intent
- Mistaken identity
- Police misconduct or error
- Prosecutor misconduct or error
- Insufficient evidence
- Self-defense or defense of others
Of course, the above is very general. What these things may look like in your case will be much more specific and completely tailored to your situation. For further information about how our Amarillo felony defense lawyers can fight for you, schedule a free consultation.
