My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
Depends on how much the check was for (and potentially other circumstances like if you've got priors and if there was other fraud going on). If it was less than $20 it's just a 500 fine. Penalties range up to $10,000 and 99 years in jail for larger checks.
I was charged with theft my check. I paid a little back. But didn't take the class. This was in december 2010. Do u think I will just go to court? The total is 2000 dollars. They were my checks.
You'll go to court, you could get jail. If they aggregate these checks together it's a state jail felony.
Even at a class B mis (more than $20), you're risking jail time.
However, if you sounds like you were already under some deferred prosecution. You screwed up. That annoys judges. YOu need a lawyer.
