“THEFT PROP >=$2500<$30K ENH IAT” stands for Theft Property at least $2500 under $30K Enhanced, a third-degree felony under Texas PC § 31.03(f).
Under Texas Penal Code § 31.03, a person commits theft by unlawfully appropriating property with intent to deprive the owner of it, either by taking it without the owner's effective consent or by appropriating property the person knows was stolen by another. When the property's value is $2,500 or more but less than $30,000, the offense is ordinarily a state jail felony under § 31.03(e)(4)(A). This charge adds an enhancement finding under § 31.03(f) that raises the offense one category, to a third-degree felony. The enhancement applies when the actor was a public servant or a government contractor who obtained the property through that role, the owner was an elderly individual or a nonprofit organization, the actor was a Medicare provider contracting with the federal government, or the actor set off, disabled, or shielded against a fire exit alarm or retail theft detector during the theft.
