Dallas Theft Crime Attorney

Theft Defense in Dallas, TX

Theft is one of the oldest crimes, and it has historically been the subject of harsh criminal penalties throughout the world. For example, people living in countries that are under Sharia law are a risk of having a hand cut off for theft, while horse thieves could expect to be hung if caught in the Old West. Today, Texas state law continues to enforce rigid penalties for theft crimes.

Penalties for Theft in Dallas

Under Texas Penal Code §31.03 "Theft," the sentence that you could receive if convicted of theft depends in large part on the value of the property that you are accused of stealing:

Other factors will influence the charge which you may face for a theft offense. For example, if you are accused of breaking and entering into a private residence for the purpose of committing a theft, you will most likely be accused of burglary. If you are accused of using force or threats of violence in order to steal something from another person, you can expect to be charged with robbery.
