Class B Misdemeanor punishment includes which option?

• A. 180 days
• B. 1 year
• C. 2 years
• D. 2-20 years

Answer: (A)

Class B Misdemeanor in Texas carries up to 180 days in county jail (and a fine up to $2,000). The option of 180 days matches the maximum jail time allowed for this offense, so it is the correct reflection of the punishment for a Class B Misdemeanor. The other durations belong to different offense levels: up to 1 year is the limit for Class A Misdemeanor, while 2 years or 2-20 years are associated with felonies (state jail felony ranges from 180 days to 2 years, and second-degree felony ranges from 2 to 20 years).
