With a previous misdemeanor conviction, the minimum punishment for conviction of a subsequent class B Misdemeanor is 30 days in jail. That would make the punishment range 30 days to 180 days.  See Texas Penal Code 12.43 https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.12.htm

If a person "absconds" from probation by moving away and failing to report, a judge can impose the underlying sentence specified at the time of the original sentencing. A judge can choose to reinstate probation without imposing any time, impose some time or impose all of the time which had been suspended at the original sentencing.

You need to understand that they can bring that charge if they want to, just based on what you have described. That does not mean that the case cannot be beaten.  To convict you on the organized criminal activity case the DA's will have to prove you committed an act in furtherance of the criminal conspiracy (the conspiracy would undoubtedly be to rip off Rent a Center). My guess would be that they will find it hard to believe you didn't know what your Dad was up to when you got him the TV. That aspect of the case will be where it is won or lost, in my opinion.  Generally, my advice would be to discontinue speaking to their investigators. In my experience, that has seldom, if ever, ended well for the "cooperating witness."
