If my fiancé and I were caught shoplifting, were arrested and charged with a Class B Misdemeanor, what happens if I take the blame?

Do not take the blame until you have spoken with a criminal defense attorney. If you work out a deal to take the blame and in turn they dismiss the other person's case great, otherwise keep your mouth shut. Additionally, more than one person can be charged for the same crime, in the State of Texas. It is called the law of parties. Do yourself a favor and speak to an attorney before making rash decisions. Good luck.

If it is his offense he is not likely facing jail time. It is possible, but unlikely. The crime is punishable by up to 1year in jail and a 4000 dollar fine.

It will take more than that for a case to be dropped - usually like another person to be convicted. Your friend can make bond, and your friend obviously has a lawyer to whom your friend can direct questions (and should) about what is needed and the timeline for things to happen. Your friend may just have to go to trial.
