About Property Crimes
Depending on the severity of the crime, charges can be tried as a misdemeanor or a felony. Misdemeanors are less serious, but can still hold severe consequences, with fines in the thousands of dollars, lengthy jail sentences, and a criminal record that can negatively affect your future. More serious crimes are prosecuted as felonies, which can result in long prison sentences.
Some property crimes include:
- Theft Crimes
- Arson with fire or explosives. This can be difficult to prove without witnesses or evidence.
- Burglary or illegal entry into someone else’s property with intent to steal. Burglary does not involve fear or using force.
- Robbery, which is using violence, threats, or force to steal. This is considered a serious crime in Texas and is prosecuted harshly.
- Vandalism when a person degrades, defaces, or destroys someone else’s property. This is typically considered criminal mischief.
