    Default Shoplifting in Houston, Texas

    When is it considered shoplifting?

    When an item is concealed while still in the store and I remain in the store or once I leave the store w/ the concealed item?

    Thanks for your help.

    It varies by state, in Washington state concealment is theft, leaving the store is icing on the cake.....so to speak.

    Texas is a concealment state. Once it's concealed, you can be charged with theft.
