Class C misdemeanors are the lightest charges and carry no jail time, only a $500 fine. This is usually the punishment for stealing less than $50. Class B is for crimes such as possession of up to two ounces of marijuana and carries up to 180 days in jail and/or up to $2,000 in fines. Class A is the highest misdemeanor and results from crimes like pimping. The punishment is up to a year in jail and/or a $4,000 fine.

As soon as you commit a crime, the statute of limitations, the time in which you are liable to be prosecuted, begins to run. In Texas a misdemeanor charge has a statute of limitations of two years. After two years elapse from your arrest, you cannot be tried.

Can a felony be dropped to a misdemeanor in Texas?

A felony can be reduced to a misdemeanor. A conviction of a felony means you have a criminal record. A criminal record results in collateral consequences where finding a job or housing or obtaining a loan or professional license can become more difficult. The same is also true for misdemeanors, but the difference is that as a convicted felon, you can also lose your right to vote and your right to own and use a firearm. Felonies are very serious, and as such, must be taken seriously.
