My son, who is 21, was caught leaving the store with less than $20 worth of merchandise. He was handcuffed and detained (not arrested/no rights read), then signed a criminal/civil release form and a trespass notification form AND had is picture taken. I have a couple of questions and I hope you guys can help me make sense of this. Will he have to pay the amount he stole and will there be a civil fine and how much? I'm not sure about the laws in Texas, so any help is appreciated. Bottom line, how long will it be before Steve & Barry's attornys will contact him and will he have to go to court or pay a fine or both? Thanks!
