Why You Need an Aggravated Robbery Defense Attorney in Dallas

If you’re facing an aggravated robbery charge, you need a defense attorney who understands the law, the local courts, and how to protect your record.

Under Texas law, a robbery is aggravated when it involves any of the following:

• Causing serious bodily injury to another person
• Using or exhibiting a deadly weapon during the robbery
• Targeting someone who is 65 or older or has a disability, even without causing harm

This charge is a first-degree felony, carrying a potential sentence of five years to life in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Some consequences go far beyond prison time:

• No deferred adjudication is available for many aggravated charges
• If the offense involved a deadly weapon, parole eligibility is limited
• A conviction can affect your ability to find work, rent housing, or vote

Prosecutors often seek maximum sentencing, especially when violence or vulnerable victims are involved. An experienced aggravated robbery defense attorney from My Dallas Criminal Lawyer can:

• Challenge the legality of your arrest, search, or police procedures
• Help you obtain favorable bond conditions to avoid sitting in jail while your case proceeds
• Start early negotiations aimed at reducing or dismissing charges before trial

The sooner My Dallas Criminal Lawyer is on your side, the stronger your defense will be. Call us at 214-949-4117 to start protecting your future today.

Types of Aggravated Robbery Cases We Handle

Our firm handles a wide range of aggravated robbery charges, including:

Alleged Weapon Use

Many aggravated robbery charges involve the use or display of a deadly weapon, whether it’s a firearm, knife, or an object repurposed as a weapon. Texas law broadly defines a “deadly weapon” as one that leaves room for your defense. We challenge the prosecution’s ability to prove the object was a weapon, whether it was actually used or displayed, and whether law enforcement properly preserved the evidence.

Injury-Based Enhancements

If the alleged victim suffered serious bodily injury, your charges will escalate accordingly. These cases often rely heavily on medical records and testimony. Our team reviews the reports for exaggeration, inconsistencies, or alternative causes of injury. We also interview witnesses to challenge their accuracy and reliability.

Elderly or Disabled Victims

Aggravated robbery charges become more serious when the alleged victim is over 65 or disabled, regardless of the level of force used. We investigate whether the accused knew about the victim’s condition and explore defenses like mistaken identity, insufficient evidence, or lack of intent.

Group or Co-Defendant Cases

When cases involve multiple defendants, prosecutors may charge everyone present during the incident. We focus on separating our client’s actions from others and challenge assumptions of shared intent.

Frequently Asked Questions about Aggravated Robbery

Here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about aggravated robbery.

Is aggravated robbery always a felony in Texas?

Yes. It is a first-degree felony under Tex. Penal Code § 29.03.

What’s the difference between robbery and aggravated robbery?

Robbery becomes aggravated when there is serious injury, a deadly weapon is used, or the victim is elderly or disabled.
