Aggravated kidnapping is a serious charge that carries significant fines and other punishments. The circumstances of the individual case are always taken into consideration to determine the punishment.
A conviction for aggravated kidnapping in Texas is a first degree felony. This means that the Court is likely to seek out the maximum punishment possible. Under Texas law, that is a fine of up to $10,000 as well as life in prison. It is very difficult to prove that you are not a flight risk nor that you are not likely to commit such a crime again, which makes obtaining bail difficult in many situations.
