Houston Forgery Defense Attorney

If you or someone you love has been charged with committing an act of forgery, contact the law office of the Houston Criminal Lawyer.

Under the Texas state penal code, a person commits an act of forgery when they “alter, make, complete, execute, or authenticate any writing” so that is seems to be any of the following:

To be the act of another who did not authorize that act
To have been executed at a time or place or in a numbered sequence other than was in fact the case
To be a copy of an original when no such original existed

It is also considered forgery to “issue, transfer, register the transfer of, pass, publish, or otherwise utter a writing that is forged” or to be in possession of a writing that is forged (e.g. the generating or buying of a fake driver’s license.)

The consequences for an act of forgery include jail time and fines, but you can minimize these consequences by hiring an experienced criminal lawyer that specializes in this area of law.
