Understanding the Specific Charges Against You
There are a number of Texas and federal criminal charges that can involve some sort of theft of money or property. Among the most common charges our clients face are the following:
- Theft
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Aggravated robbery
- Fraud
- Embezzlement
Each of these charges revolves around a specific type of activity, and depending on exactly what you are accused of doing, you could find yourself charged with more than one crime. Stealing from a car, stealing from a broken-into building or stealing from a person on the street are very different circumstances for prosecutors.
Certain accusations are particularly serious. If you are accused of stealing from someone by making physical threats or showing a deadly weapon, you could be charged with robbery or aggravated robbery, which are considered violent crimes.
