What “FALSE STATEMENT PROPERTY/CREDIT >=$30K<$150K” means

Texas Penal Code § 32.32 makes it an offense to intentionally or knowingly make a materially false or misleading written statement to obtain property or credit, including a mortgage loan, for oneself or for another person. The statement must be written, must be false or misleading in a material respect, and must be made for the purpose of obtaining the property or credit; the culpable mental state is intent or knowledge with respect to making the material misstatement. The statute grades the offense by the value of the property or the amount of the credit involved, tracking the value ladder used for theft. This filing is the third-degree felony bracket under § 32.32(c)(5), covering value or credit of $30,000 or more but less than $150,000, which distinguishes it from the state jail felony bracket below it and the second-degree felony bracket above it.
