In Texas, a hit and run is considered a felony if the accident resulted in bodily injury or death. If the accident only caused property damage, it is considered a misdemeanor. Either way, leaving the scene of an accident is a serious offense. The penalty for a felony hit and run conviction can include up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. The penalty for a misdemeanor hit and run conviction can include up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.
