Round Rock Shoplifting Lawyer

Arrested for shoplifting?

An arrest for shoplifting can have many consequences in a person's life, including jail time and the payment of fines and restitution. It will also leave you with a criminal record that may hinder your ability to find a job and obtain certain types of security clearances.

The prosecution will pursue a conviction in a shoplifting case just like any other criminal offense. In certain situations, you may be eligible for deferred adjudication, which can result in a case dismissal if you successfully complete your probation requirements. A Round Rock criminal defense lawyer is the best person to consult regarding your case. Once you understand your legal options, it will be easier for you to decide how to proceed with your case.

A shoplifting arrest can result in a state jail felony if the goods that were stolen have a value of between $1,500 and $20,000. Shoplifted goods with a value in excess of $20,000 will be charged as a felony. Do not expect forgiveness or leniency if you have been caught shoplifting, even if the goods that were stolen had a nominal value.
