A court may order additional rehabilitative sanctions under Article 45.057/45A.457, C.C.P., for all Class C misdemeanors.

• A. It depends on the offense
• B. True
• C. Not enforceable
• D. False

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that Texas law gives courts explicit authority to impose rehabilitative sanctions for Class C misdemeanors. Under Article 45.057 and Article 45A.457 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, a court can order rehabilitative measures—such as community service, counseling, education programs, or treatment—in addition to, or instead of, fines for any Class C misdemeanor. This authority isn’t limited to specific offenses; it applies to all Class C misdemeanors. So the statement is true because the statutes authorize these rehabilitative sanctions across the board, providing options to address underlying issues and tailor outcomes to the defendant's circumstances. For example, a court could require a defendant to complete a court-approved program or perform community service in lieu of or alongside paying a fine.
