Theft Charges

Texas Bad Check Law Attorney

Theft of any kind is considered a crime of moral turpitude. In addition to fines and possible jail time, a theft conviction can also have severe consequences on your life after the case is resolved. A theft conviction may keep you from getting certain licenses or positions of trust, and it may also cost you future good jobs, security clearances, good housing options, or any number of opportunities. Don't be labeled a thief for life if you can avoid it.

If you have been charged with a theft-related crime, the time to contact an attorney is now.

The theft laws in Texas determine jail time for all theft cases based on the value of the goods stolen. If the amount of goods stolen is less that $1500, you will be charged with a misdemeanor, over $1500, and it could be a felony. However, in cases of credit card fraud or abuse, it is a felony offense, regardless of the amount.
