What Is Considered Theft in Texas?
According to Texas law, theft occurs when someone takes property, a service, or something else of value from someone else with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of their property. Many people don’t realize it, but it’s also considered theft when someone sells or receives goods that one knows to be stolen. You can even be charged with theft if you purchase stolen titled property, such as a vehicle, without properly executing a title search to ensure the property isn’t stolen.
How Serious Is a Conviction for Theft in Texas?
All of that said, there are many reasons why you may be facing theft charges, even if you didn’t know the property in your possession was stolen. If you are facing charges, one of your primary concerns may be how serious a conviction can be.
The answer to that question is simple: It depends. Specifically, the potential penalties you face depend upon the severity of your charges while the severity of your charges depends upon the value you are alleged to have stolen.
