Texas Penal Code Practice

Under what circumstances is theft of $100,000 to $200,000 considered a 2nd Degree Felony?

1. When a deadly weapon is involved in the theft

2. When the theft is committed against a government agency

3. When the value of the stolen items are below $100,000

4. When the theft exceeds $200,000

The correct answer is: When a deadly weapon is involved in the theft

In Texas, theft of $100,000 to $200,000 is considered a 2nd Degree Felony when a deadly weapon is involved in the theft. This is because the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon during the commission of a theft elevates the offense to a higher degree due to the increased potential for harm or violence. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: - Theft committed against a government agency or when the value of the stolen items are below $100,000 would not by themselves result in a 2nd Degree Felony for theft in this specific value range. - Theft exceeding $200,000 would actually fall into a higher degree of felony due to the increased value of the theft.
