Misdemeanor & Felony Theft Charges in Texas
In Texas, misdemeanor theft crimes are classified based on the value of the stolen property or services. Theft is considered a Class C misdemeanor if the value is less than $100, a Class B misdemeanor if it is between $100 and $750, and a Class A misdemeanor if it ranges from $750 to $2,500. The punishment for these misdemeanors can include fines and/or jail time of up to one year.
Theft becomes a felony when the value of the stolen property or services is $2,500 or more. The severity of the felony charge increases based on the value of the stolen property, with first-degree felony charges for thefts valued at $300,000 or more. Felony theft charges in Texas can carry significant consequences, including large fines, restitution, and imprisonment.
Additionally, aggravating factors, such as the use or threat of force during a robbery can lead to greater penalties. It’s important to build your defense to challenge the specific evidence against you in order to protect your rights.
