OK - as promised, we will spend the next few blogpost talking about criminal sentencing in the State of Texas. I am only licensed in the state of Texas to practice law (besides Federal practice) so I can only comment on Texas state law. The standard disclaimer I always give is to consult with an attorney in your own state if you have any questions regarding the law in that state.
Let's start with a crime for which our hypothetical person may be convicted in Texas. Since this blog discusses fraud and white collar crime, we of course will limit it to this field.
As we begin to discuss white collar crime in Texas, however, keep in mind that we will see that the sentencing guidelines are far more flexible than the Federal sentencing guidelines we discussed earlier. One of the few advantages of a Federal crime is that an attorney has the ability to tell a client more specifically what they are facing.
Chapter 35 of the Texas Penal Code discusses insurance fraud. Therefore, let's examine the crime of insurance fraud.
The definition of insurance fraud is somewhat lengthy, so we will discuss this tommorrow.
