THEFT PROP >=$100<$750

Texas Penal Code § 31.03 defines theft as unlawfully appropriating property with intent to deprive the owner of it. Appropriation is unlawful if it is without the owner's effective consent, if the property is stolen and the actor appropriates it knowing it was stolen by another, or if the property is in law enforcement custody and was explicitly represented to the actor as stolen; consent is not effective if induced by deception or coercion. This charge, under § 31.03(e)(2)(A), is the value tier alleging the property stolen (abbreviated PROP on court records) was worth at least $100 but less than $750, a Class B misdemeanor. Value generally means fair market value at the time and place of the offense. Neighboring tiers grade theft under $100 as a Class C misdemeanor and theft of $750 or more as a Class A misdemeanor or higher.

Ranges are the statutory maximums for the level; enhancements, prior convictions and plea agreements change what is actually imposed.
