THEFT PROP >=$150K<$300K

Texas Penal Code § 31.03 defines theft as unlawfully appropriating property with intent to deprive the owner of it, graded principally by the value of the property. This charge, under § 31.03(e)(6)(A), is the second-degree felony tier alleging the value of the property stolen was at least $150,000 but less than $300,000. Under Texas Penal Code § 31.08, value generally means the fair market value of the property at the time and place of the offense or, if that cannot be ascertained, the cost of replacing the property within a reasonable time. Amounts obtained pursuant to one scheme or continuing course of conduct may be aggregated under Texas Penal Code § 31.09 to reach this tier. The companion provision, § 31.03(e)(6)(B), places theft of an automated teller machine or its contents valued under $300,000 in the same grade.

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