Definition

Theft occurs when someone takes property from another person with the intent not to give it back. For example, if someone takes a DVD from a store without paying for it (i.e. shoplifting), that would be theft. 

See: Texas Penal Code 31.03

Punishment Range

A theft charge can range from a Class C misdemeanor (up to a $500 fine) all the way up to a first degree felony (5-99 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine). The value of the property allegedly stolen generally determines what degree of offense is charged.
