Classification of theft

Question

I stole 40 dollars and i was wandering what kind of class is it class A B or C?? and what do they mean?

Answer 1

In Texas, a class C misdemeanor is up to $50.  $50-500 is a class B, $500-1500 is a class A, and so on.  Thus you have committed a class C misdemeanor, punishable by fine only, from $0-$500.  Maybe if you pay it back, the charges will be dropped.  A class C is treated the same as a traffic ticket
