Depends on the value. See the following excerpts from the statute which provides the value amount stolen and level of offense. (Note: Class C is fine only; Class B is 0 to 6 months in jail; Class A is 0 to 1 year in jail - for first offenders. Also, the amount of cash claimed by the complainant will control regardless of what you actually stole.) (1) a Class C misdemeanor if the value of the property stolen is less than: (A) $50; or (B) $20 and the defendant obtained the property by issuing or passing a check or similar sight order in a manner described by Section 31.06; (2) a Class B misdemeanor if: (A) the value of the property stolen is: (i) $50 or more but less than $500; or (ii) $20 or more but less than $500 and the defendant obtained the property by issuing or passing a check or similar sight order in a manner described by Section 31.06; (B) the value of the property stolen is less than: (i) $50 and the defendant has previously been convicted of any grade of theft; or (ii) $20, the defendant has previously been convicted of any grade of theft, and the defendant obtained the property by issuing or passing a check or similar sight order in a manner described by Section 31.06; or (C) the property stolen is a driver's license, commercial driver's license, or personal identification certificate issued by this state or another state; (3) a Class A misdemeanor if the value of the property stolen is $500 or more but less than $1,500.

Can I get into any legal trouble if I sent a fax containing my ex spouses complete criminal background to his job?

If you have not already done it, you should not. If you have, then they probably would not do anything to you but this could arguable amount to harassment.

Do I need to get myself a defense lawyer?

You should be very concerned about this.  You will likely be charged with burglary of a habitation.  If the victim says the ring was in his home, especially if he says that he knows it was in the house recently, then a jury can infer that you took the ring from the house.  There does not have to evidence of a broken door or window.  A presumption can be drawn that you are the thief/burglar if you are in possession of recently stolen property, which you were by pawning the ring.  You should hire an attorney immediately.
