Texas HB3507 amends the punishment classifications for theft offenses based on the value and type of property stolen.
Texas HB3507 modifies the Texas Penal Code to adjust the punishment levels for theft offenses. The bill sets specific classifications for theft based on the value and nature of the stolen property. For instance, theft of property valued under $100 is a Class C misdemeanor, while theft of property valued between $100 and $750 is a Class B misdemeanor. Higher values and specific types of property, such as firearms or controlled substances, escalate the offense to more severe classifications, including state jail felonies and felonies of the second and third degrees.
