What maximum fine is associated with a Class C misdemeanor?

The maximum fine associated with a Class C misdemeanor is $500. Class C misdemeanors are considered to be the least serious type of criminal offense in Texas, and they typically involve minor violations such as traffic tickets or petty theft. The fines are structured to reflect the severity of the offense, making $500 the established upper limit for such misdemeanors. In contrast, higher classes of misdemeanors and felonies have significantly higher maximum fine amounts, which is why options reflecting larger sums, such as $2,000, $4,000, or $10,000, are not applicable to Class C misdemeanors.
