We get Texas theft and shoplifting cases dismissed!

Jonathan M. Apgar, Attorney

Being accused of a Texas theft or shoplifting offense is a serious matter that can result in a number of adverse consequences. We have spent decades vigorously defending our clients against Texas theft and shoplifting charges, and very often we are able to secure a DISMISSAL of theft charges in order to protect your reputation and livelihood.

In order to prove a Texas theft case, the State must show that a person took property from another person or business with the intent to deprive the person or business of that property. However, this can be difficult for the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Many times, we get Texas theft cases DISMISSED by showing the incident was a simple accident or oversight, rather than an intentional act. This is especially true with self checkout mistakes at Walmart, Kroger, Target, and other retail stores.

The legal consequences for individuals convicted of Texas theft charges can be severe. Even misdemeanor theft convictions can result in heavy fines, lengthy probation, or up to a year in jail. Furthermore, a theft conviction will result in a permanent criminal record that will show up on every background check and make current or future employment difficult.

We can help you avoid those consequences.
