Houston Theft & Property Crime Lawyers

Experienced Defense Against Theft & Property Crime Charges

A theft or property crime charge can affect much more than the outcome of a criminal case. A conviction may create lasting problems with employment, professional licensing, housing, education, and your reputation.

En Adrogué Law Firm, PLLC, we defend clients facing misdemeanor and felony theft charges throughout Houston and the surrounding communities. Our attorneys examine the evidence, challenge weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and build a defense focused on protecting your record, your freedom, and your future.

Theft and Property Crime Cases We Handle

Our criminal defense team represents clients accused of:

Shoplifting
Theft of property
Burglary
Robbery
Aggravated robbery
Auto theft
Criminal mischief
Criminal trespass
Receiving stolen property
Credit card fraud
Identity theft
White collar theft offenses

Every case is different. We develop a defense strategy based on the specific facts, evidence, and circumstances involved.

Building a Strong Defense

A criminal charge is not a conviction. Theft and property crime cases often involve questions about intent, ownership, identification, witness credibility, or the legality of the investigation.

Our attorneys carefully review:

Police reports and investigative procedures
Surveillance footage and digital evidence
Witness statements
Search and seizure issues
Identification procedures
The strength of the prosecution’s evidence

We look for every opportunity to challenge the allegations, seek reduced charges, pursue dismissal, or prepare the case for trial when necessary.

Conoce tus derechos

If you are facing criminal charges, effective representation matters immediately — not just at trial, but during the pretrial phase, when the most important decisions in your case are often made. At Adrogué Law Firm, our Houston criminal defense attorneys give your case our full attention, so you are treated fairly by the criminal justice system and never left guessing about where your case stands.

Even when the facts seem stacked against you, skilled defense counsel can be the difference between jail time and probation — or between a permanent felony record and a clean one. Many convictions are avoidable with the right strategy applied early.

A criminal charge touches every part of your life. You likely have urgent questions, from how to confront the case against you to how to minimize the impact on your career, family, and future. We answer those questions directly, from day one.

Atendemos todas tus inquietudes

We are here to help. Our attorneys can answer your questions and offer straightforward guidance regarding your concerns.

¿Cuáles son mis derechos después de un arresto?

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. In theft and property crime cases, store security or loss-prevention staff have no authority to force a confession — you are not required to answer their questions or sign any statement. Speak with an attorney before discussing the incident with anyone.

Can I be charged with theft if I didn't intend to steal anything?

Intent is a required element of most theft offenses in Texas. If you had permission, believed the property was yours, or lacked intent to permanently deprive the owner of it, that can be a valid defense. Many theft charges are based on misunderstandings that don’t hold up under scrutiny.

What's the difference between misdemeanor and felony theft in Texas?

Theft is graded largely by the value of the property involved. Theft under $100 is typically a Class C misdemeanor, while higher values can escalate the charge up to a first-degree felony. Prior theft convictions can also elevate the charge regardless of value.

Will a theft conviction show up on background checks?

Yes. A theft conviction becomes part of your permanent criminal record and will typically appear on background checks used by employers, landlords, and licensing boards, unless it qualifies for expunction or an order of nondisclosure.

Can shoplifting charges be resolved without a conviction?

In many cases, yes. First-time shoplifting charges, especially for lower-value items, are sometimes eligible for deferred adjudication, pretrial diversion, or a negotiated dismissal — particularly when the merchandise was recovered and there’s no prior record. An early, strategic approach gives you the best chance at these outcomes.
