<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

At Adrogu\u00e9 Law Firm, PLLC<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

Theft and Property Crime Cases We Handle<\/h2>\n

Our criminal defense team represents clients accused of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Shoplifting<\/li>\n
  • Theft of property<\/li>\n
  • Burglary<\/li>\n
  • Robbery<\/li>\n
  • Aggravated robbery<\/li>\n
  • Auto theft<\/li>\n
  • Criminal mischief<\/li>\n
  • Criminal trespass<\/li>\n
  • Receiving stolen property<\/li>\n

    Every case is different. We develop a defense strategy based on the specific facts, evidence, and circumstances involved.<\/p>\n

    Building a Strong Defense<\/h2>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    Our attorneys carefully review:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Police reports and investigative procedures<\/li>\n
    • Surveillance footage and digital evidence<\/li>\n
    • Witness statements<\/li>\n
    • Search and seizure issues<\/li>\n
    • Identification procedures<\/li>\n
    • The strength of the prosecution’s evidence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      We look for every opportunity to challenge the allegations, seek reduced charges, pursue dismissal, or prepare the case for trial when necessary.<\/p>\n

      What Are My Rights After An Arrest?<\/div>
      \n

      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 \u2014 you are not required to answer their questions or sign any statement. Speak with an attorney before discussing the incident with anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      Can I be charged with theft if I didn't intend to steal anything?<\/div>
      \n

      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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      What's the difference between misdemeanor and felony theft in Texas?<\/div>
      \n

      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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      Will a theft conviction show up on background checks?<\/div>
      \n

      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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      Can shoplifting charges be resolved without a conviction?<\/div>
      \n

      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 \u2014 particularly when the merchandise was recovered and there’s no prior record. An early, strategic approach gives you the best chance at these outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
