Theft/Shoplifting

Shoplifting in Texas

Shoplifting is a theft offense in Texas. The amount in controversy determines the severity of the offense and, therefore, the range of punishment. According to business website Checkpoint in a 2014 study, shoplifting, including employee theft, costs U.S. businesses approximately $42 billion per year. That turns out to be an annual average of about $403 per household. The most frequently stolen items include clothing, mobile phone accessories, power tools, wine, and make-up products.
