Asked 4/19/2016 – Houston, TX

Answer

The punishment range for a class b misdemeanor is up to 180 days in jail and up to a $2,000 fine. Only an attorney who knows exactly what you are charged with and the specific facts of your case can advise you as to a probable plea offer or outcome. Talk with a local attorney soon.
