Working toward a positive case result

Theft comprises a variety of different offenses

Each state has different definitions for theft. In Texas, courts consider theft to be when anyone:

“unlawfully appropriates property with intent to deprive the owner of the property.”

The “intent” aspect is important, as a person who accidentally takes property belonging to someone else should not be charged with theft.

Different types of theft include auto theft, robbery or armed robbery, shoplifting, identity theft, embezzlement and burglary.

To the layperson these might all sound similar, but each type of theft has its own definition and set of complications that require the assistance of a San Antonio criminal defense law firm.

For example,

“burglary is when a person intentionally enters or remains unlawfully in a building with the intent to commit a crime, whereas robbery is any theft involving the use of force or threatened use of force.”

There are some defense tactics available to people charged with theft crimes:

Right of ownership.

It cannot be theft if you already own the property. However, if you claim right of ownership, you must be able to provide evidence that the property rightfully belongs to you.

Entrapment.

If you commit a crime because someone else induced you to do so to prosecute you, Mr. Churak argues fora case dismissal due to entrapment.
