Reckless Homicide
Facing a charge of reckless homicide? It’s a daunting experience, one that could lead to a long prison sentence and significant fines if convicted. However, at Blizzard & Zimmerman Attorneys, we leverage our expertise and dedication to protect your rights and fight for your freedom.

Reckless homicide is not the same as murder or other forms of homicide. According to the Texas Penal Code, reckless homicide involves recklessly causing the death of an individual. This second-degree felony carries severe penalties, including 2-20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
