Theft

Charged with Theft in Texas? The Law Office of Rachelle D. Carter is Here to Defend You.

If you’ve been arrested or charged with theft in Texas, you’re likely facing a stressful and uncertain future. Whether it’s an accusation of shoplifting, employee theft, forgery, or even joyriding, all theft crimes carry serious consequences. A conviction can result in jail time, steep fines, a permanent criminal record, and lasting damage to your reputation and career.

At the Law Office of Rachelle D. Carter, PLLC, we understand what you’re going through—and we’re here to help. With years of experience defending clients against a wide range of theft-related charges, we know how to challenge the evidence, protect your rights, and work toward the best possible outcome for your case.

Types of Theft Cases We Handle

Our firm provides aggressive defense for individuals accused of theft offenses such as:

  • Shoplifting / Retail Theft
  • Employee Theft / Embezzlement
  • Check Forgery
  • Credit Card Abuse
  • Burglary and Robbery
  • Auto Theft / Joyriding
  • Theft by Deception
  • Receiving Stolen Property

Each of these crimes carries varying degrees of punishment depending on the value of the property, whether a weapon was involved, and your prior criminal history. For example:

  • Theft of property valued under $100 is a Class C misdemeanor.
  • Theft over $2,500 can be charged as a felony, punishable by years in state prison.
  • Charges can escalate quickly if the offense involves a vulnerable victim, organized activity, or a breach of trust (such as employee theft).
