Theft can result in harsh penalties in Texas. The exact consequences vary
by the value of the goods stolen, prior criminal history and if the merchant
sues for damages. The charges can range from a Class C misdemeanor to
a First Degree Felony.
A Class C Misdemeanor is the lowest level shoplifting offense and can be
charged for theft of property valued at less than $50. This offense could
result in a fine of up to $500. The most serious theft penalty would be
a First Degree Felony that follows theft of property valued above $200,000.
This offense has potential for life in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
