Texas Penal Code Practice

What is the classification for theft of $50 to $500?

1. Class "B"

2. Class "C"

3. State Jail Felony

4. 3rd Degree Felony

The correct answer is: Class "B"

The correct classification for theft of $50 to $500 in Texas is Class "B" misdemeanor. In Texas, theft offenses are categorized based on the value of the property or services stolen. For theft of property valued at $50 to $500, it falls under Class "B" misdemeanor. This classification carries a punishment of up to 180 days in county jail and a fine not exceeding $2,000. Options B, C, and D are not the correct classifications for theft of $50 to $500. A Class "C" misdemeanor is for theft of property valued under $100. A State Jail Felony is typically for theft of property worth $2,500 to $30,000, and a 3rd Degree Felony is for higher-value theft, not within the range of $50 to $500.
