Code Definition of Theft

Pursuant to the Texas Penal Code, a theft occurs when someone appropriates another’s property with an intent to keep the property from its rightful owner. Within the Texas Penal Code, there are 15 sections that identify the many ways a person could be charged with theft.

Petty theft refers to when the value of property stolen is less than $500, it is considered a class B misdemeanor. Even though the penalties are not as harsh as for other theft crimes, there are still lingering consequences that can harm an individual’s future.

Grand theft refers to when property greater than $500 in value is stolen by someone. It can be anywhere from a class A misdemeanor to a first-degree felony.  The penalties for grand theft are much harsher than they are with petty theft. Resulting in prison time and steeper fines. Such consequences can truly harm a person’s way of life, potentially hindering a person’s future educational and employment opportunities. An Amarillo theft lawyer can help individuals potentially mitigate these penalties.

Other Theft Crimes

Within the two categories of petty and grand theft, there are additional theft crimes found in the Texas Penal Code. There is a theft component for crimes like car theft, armed robbery, larceny, burglary, robbery, and extortion. The potential penalties for each vary in severity.
