What “FRAUD USE/POSS IDENTIFYING INFO # ITEMS 10<50” means
Texas Penal Code § 32.51 prohibits fraudulent use or possession of identifying information: obtaining, possessing, transferring, or using an item of identifying information of another person without consent — or of a deceased person, or of a child younger than 18 — with intent to harm or defraud another. "Identifying information" reaches names and dates of birth, unique biometric data, unique electronic identification numbers and routing codes, financial institution account numbers, telecommunication access devices, and Social Security and other government-issued identification numbers. Because grading depends on the volume of information involved, the indictment must allege how many items were obtained, possessed, transferred, or used. Under subsection (c)(3), the offense is a second-degree felony when the number of items is ten or more but fewer than fifty.
| Charged as | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Second-degree felony | 2 to 20 years in prison (TDCJ) | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.33 |
