MONEY LAUNDERING >=$30K<$150K
Money Laundering at least $30K under $150K in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “MONEY LAUNDERING >=$30K<$150K” means
Texas Penal Code § 34.02(e)(2) covers money laundering involving funds valued at $30,000 or more but less than $150,000, a third-degree felony. The underlying offense reaches four kinds of conduct, each requiring knowledge: acquiring or maintaining an interest in, concealing, possessing, transferring, or transporting the proceeds of criminal activity; conducting, supervising, or facilitating a transaction involving such proceeds; investing, expending, or receiving, or offering to invest, expend, or receive, proceeds of criminal activity or funds the person believes are such proceeds; or financing or investing funds the person believes are intended to further criminal activity. "Criminal activity" is any offense classified as a felony under Texas or federal law or punishable by confinement for more than one year under another state's laws. Values from a single scheme or continuing course of conduct may be aggregated to reach the $30,000 threshold that distinguishes this bracket from subsection (e)(1).
| Charged as | Share of bail records | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Third-degree felony | 100% | 2 to 10 years in prison (TDCJ) | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.34 |
Ranges are the statutory maximums for the level; enhancements, prior convictions and plea agreements change what is actually imposed.
