Which penalty corresponds to Class B misdemeanor?

Which penalty corresponds to Class B misdemeanor?

• A. Class A - up to 1 year in the county jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
• B. None of the above.
• C. Class B - up to 180 days in the county jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
• D. Class C - fine only up to $500.

Answer: (C)

Misdemeanor penalties in Texas are organized by class, and for a Class B misdemeanor the maximum penalty is up to 180 days in the county jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000. This matches the chosen option because it states that exact combination of potential jail time and fine. The other choices describe penalties for different classes: one refers to a more severe Class A scenario, and the other to Class C, which is typically a fine-only offense up to $500 with no jail time.
