What is Manslaughter?
Manslaughter in Texas is a serious criminal offense characterized as the unlawful killing of another person without malice aforethought, distinguishing it from murder. The state of Texas does not use the term "involuntary manslaughter" or "voluntary manslaughter." Rather, the state's manslaughter laws merge these two terms into one charge with penalties that can be heightened under particular circumstances.

Defenses Against Manslaughter Charges
Defending against manslaughter charges requires a deep understanding of the law and your case's specific circumstances. Our experienced team at Crenshaw & Purvis will explore various defense strategies tailored to your unique situation, which can include:
- Self-Defense: If you acted to protect yourself or others from imminent harm, self-defense might be a viable defense strategy.
- Lack of Intent: Demonstrating that you did not have the intent to cause harm or death is crucial to building a defense.
- Alibi: Providing a solid alibi or evidence that you were not present at the scene when the incident occurred can be a strong defense against manslaughter charges.
- Procedural Errors: We can scrutinize the evidence, police procedures, and witness statements to identify any irregularities or errors in the investigation or legal process that could benefit your defense.
