      Kidnapping Laws in Texas

      Accusations of kidnapping can occur in situations where domestic violence has been alleged. This happens when one parent accuses another of taking a child in cases where the parents are in conflict, separated, or involved in a divorce or where one parent acts with the intent to assume lawful control of the child. To be found guilty of this offense, the prosecution must prove all points of any kidnapping charge as described under section 20.01 of the Texas Penal Code. Per this law, kidnapping involves unlawful restraint without consent which is committed by force, intimidation, or deception or by acquiescence if the victim is a child under the age of 14 or a child aged 14 up to 17 who is taken out of the state or outside a 120-mile radius of his or her home without permission of the child’s acting parent or guardian.

      A kidnapping charge in Texas can lead to the following penalties:

      • If charged as a third-degree felony: up to 10 years in state prison and fines up to $10,000
      • If charged as a second-degree felony: up to 20 years in state prison and fines up to $10,000
      • If charged as a first-degree felony: up to 99 years in state prison and fines up to $10,000

      Aggravated kidnapping is also described under Texas law as intentionally or knowingly abducting a person with the intention to hold them for ransom, as a hostage, to terrorize the victim or another person, or to harm them physically or sexually. This crime is charged as a first-degree felony.

      Seasoned Legal Representation

      Kidnapping a child as part of a domestic problem is generally charged as a third degree felony which carries penalties of two to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. In the face of such harsh consequences, work with an accomplished Texas kidnapping defense lawyer at our firm who has demonstrated competence in this field.
