The law in Texas grants prosecutors a broad authority when it comes to charging individuals with theft crimes.
Concealing, receiving or possessing stolen property is a grave charge relating to just about any theft offense. A prosecutor will commonly attach a receiving stolen property charge to allegations of passing a bad check or a burglary offense.
The charges and accusations of being in possession of stolen property or receiving stolen goods are more intricate than they initially seem. To support a conviction, the prosecutor needs more evidence than just mere possession of the stolen property.
They need to prove that you were aware that the property was stolen, so you could have a substantial defense if you received a gift that turned out to be stolen.
You should never take the allegations of the prosecutor as the truth. All details are important, and we leave no stone unturned when researching, preparing, and presenting your defense to the alleged charges.
