What is the punishment for petty theft? My child is turning 18 in 2 days and we live in Texas.
My 18 year old daughter was recently arrested in Texas for shoplifting. However she was arrested 2 days before her birthday. My questions are 1) Will she be charged as a minor, and 2) if she is charged as an adult, what is the maximum petty theft punishment we can expect?
