Theft At Place Of Employent

[please_help]

What are the penalties (in Texas) for stealing a large amount at the place of their employment. I have a friend that is about to get in trouble for this and what to know what to tell him.

That would depend on the charge and the dollar amount

[please_help]

Is it called embezzlement? the price tag was about 4 thousand dollars.

[panther10758]

I know whats it called but there are other charges that could apply for various reasons. This is a felony and a serious one at that. Your friend needs to consult a criminal defense Attorney right away

Ok, thank you for your help.

Does it change anything that he got fired before they found out?

[panther10758]

Ok so he hasnt been caught yet? No it changes nothing if they find out and the evidence leads to him he is facing very serious felony charges
