Burglary, Robbery, & Theft Charges Texas
Board Certified Criminal Defense Attorney San Antonio

Burglary, Robbery, and Theft charges can be serious charges with far-reaching penalties if convicted. If you or someone you know is facing one of these or similar charges, contact our law office immediately.

Burglary is entering into a building, portion of a building, or habitation with the intent to commit theft or a felony there. Not only is it burglary to enter a house unlawfully with the intent to steal money or property, but it is also burglary to enter with the intent to commit a felony such as arson or murder.

Robbery is similar to theft; in fact, theft is a part of robbery. A person commits robbery if, during a theft, he or she intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person, threatens a person, or places another person in fear of immediate injury or death. Aggravated robbery, which is a felony of the first degree, is a robbery in which a person is seriously injured or in which the defendant uses a deadly weapon. If the robbery causes fear of immediate injury or death to a victim who is 65 years of age or older, or who has a mental, physical, or developmental disability, the crime also constitutes an aggravated robbery.

Theft is unlawfully taking property or a service with intent to deprive the owner. Offenses can include:

• Automobile theft
• Theft by check
• Theft of trade secrets, or
• Possession, manufacture, or distribution of certain instruments used to commit retail theft.

Depending upon the value of the item(s) or services stolen, punishment can be a simple fine of not more than $500 or as severe as up to 20 years in prison with a $10,000 fine.
