Gambling Promotion is classified as which misdemeanor class?

• A. Class A Misdemeanor
• B. Class B Misdemeanor
• C. Class C Misdemeanor
• D. Felony

Answer: (C)

Class C Misdemeanor is the lowest level of misdemeanor penalties, typically fines only with no jail time. Gambling promotion is illegal but considered a minor offense, so it’s classified at this lowest misdemeanor level in this context. Higher classifications (Class A or B) involve more serious penalties or potential incarceration, and a felony would indicate a much more serious offense. Therefore, gambling promotion is categorized as a Class C misdemeanor, reflecting its relatively lesser severity while still being illegal. In Texas, this usually means a fine up to $500.
