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 a police officer interrogate a minor and search the home without the parent's presence?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
The cop could interrogate / interview the children. Even if a parent is home and won't allow it, the cops can go to the school to conduct and interview and the parent does not have to be notified. As far as the search of the premises, if the child was there alone then the child had apparent authority to allow a search upon request.

Can I still request a reduction of my bond?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)

One can always request a reduction, although there could be a reason the lawyer says no. This needs to be discussed with the lawyer. It may be that the amount is what is expected on that county for those charges.
