Why a Shove Turns Theft Into a Felony
Under Texas Penal Code Section 29.02, robbery is a second-degree felony. That charge carries a penalty of two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
The distinction matters regardless of what was actually stolen. Texas law distinguishes theft from robbery; using force while taking or retaining property can make an incident robbery. For more, see the Doug Murphy Law Firm.
