Criminal
Law
Criminal law involves
prosecution by the
government of a person
for an act that has been
specified as a crime.
Civil cases, on the
other hand, involve
individuals and
organizations seeking to
resolve legal issues,
within the court
proceedings. In a
criminal case, the State
of Texas, through a
prosecutor, initiates
the case, while in a
civil case the victim
brings the case. Persons
convicted of a crime may
be incarcerated or put
on probation, and fined.
However, persons found
liable in a civil case
may only have a judgment
rendered against them,
but they are not
incarcerated. In other
words we don't have
debtor's prisons.
A
"crime" is any
act or omission (of an
act) in violation of a
Texas or U.S. law which
forbids such conduct.
Though there are some
common law crimes, most
crimes in the United
States are established
by local, state, and
federal governments.
Criminal laws vary
significantly from state
to state. There is,
however, in Texas, the
Texas Penal Code which
provides a good starting
point to gain an
understanding of the
basis of criminal
liability.
