What “FRAUD/DESTRY/REM/CONC PRICE TAG =$100<$750” means
Texas Penal Code § 32.47 prohibits destroying, removing, concealing, altering, substituting, or otherwise impairing the verity, legibility, or availability of a writing with intent to defraud or harm another. The statute's definition of "writing" expressly includes labels, price tags, and markings on goods. This charge is the retail-pricing variant: the writing impaired is a price tag or similar pricing marking, and the offense is graded by the value of the merchandise involved, here alleged at $100 or more but less than $750, making the charge a Class B misdemeanor. The State must prove the act of impairing the pricing marking together with the accompanying intent to defraud or harm — conduct such as switching, altering, or removing tags so that goods are sold below their actual price.
