Texas Theft Crimes
Theft
Depending on the value of the item you are accused of stealing, a theft charge can either be a misdemeanor or a felony. Theft can come in the form of stealing an item from a store or someone’s home, or can be by check where you wrote a check that bounced. Theft is considered a crime of moral turpitude, or also known as an inherently dishonest act that is not accepted by the community. In addition to a possible prison sentence and a fine, being convicted of theft can carry consequences for the rest of your life. Employers may be less inclined to hire someone with a theft conviction because of the implication that the person is dishonest. Because of these serious consequences, it is important to fight your case to prevent being convicted. Contact the experienced attorneys at our office who will help you fight your case.
