In Texas, theft is considered the act of taking property that belongs to another person, regardless of its value. The key component of an offense that makes it a theft crime is the defendant’s intent. The defendant will be convicted of theft if the prosecution can prove that he or she took the property with the intent to deprive the owner of the property.
Penalties for theft crimes are based on the nature of the crime and the amount or value of the property that was taken.

Texas classifies theft based on the value of stolen property, ranging from Class C misdemeanors (under $100) to first-degree felonies (over $300,000), with penalties including fines up to $10,000 and potential jail or prison time.

Many employers conduct background checks and view theft convictions particularly negatively, regardless of the circumstances or severity of the charge.
