How Texas Defines Theft And Burglary Charges
In the Lone Star State, theft and burglary are serious offenses with significant legal consequences. Texas law defines theft as stealing someone’s property with the intent to deprive them of it. It defines burglary as a person who unlawfully enters a home, business or other property with the intent to steal property, assault someone or commit another criminal act.
The severity of theft and burglary charges can vary. Both charges can be labeled as either a misdemeanor or a felony. These can all depend on factors such as the following:
- Value of the stolen property
- Circumstances of the alleged crime
- The number of previous offenses
Attorney Armando J. Roman can help you understand the specific charges you or your loved one face and develop a tailored defense strategy to address them.
The Penalties For A Theft And Burglary Conviction
The consequences of a conviction can vary based on several factors such as the nature of the crime and whether the accused has an existing criminal record.
Theft charges can result in:
- Fines of up to $2,000
- Restitution
- Jail time

- Fines of up to $10,000
