Question: 1 / 400

Under what circumstance would theft of $20,000 to $100,000 be considered a 3rd Degree Felony?

If 10 or more head of cattle, horses, swine, goats are stolen during the same transaction with a total value of less than $100,000

In Texas, theft of livestock such as cattle, horses, swine, or goats is a serious offense. If 10 or more head of these animals are stolen during the same transaction with a total value of less than $100,000, it is considered a third-degree felony. This specific provision in the law highlights the importance and value placed on livestock within the state. Therefore, this makes choice A the correct answer.

While stealing an amount exceeding $20,000 is a serious offense, it does not necessarily result in a third-degree felony unless it falls within the specific category of livestock theft as described in choice A. Additionally, the use of a deadly weapon in the commission of the theft or if the stolen property is a motor vehicle may enhance the severity of the offense but does not specifically relate to the livestock theft scenario outlined in choice A.
