Identity Theft Penalties in Texas

The classification of identity theft and the related penalties depend on the number of items allegedly obtained, possessed, transferred, or used:

  • Less than 5 items  – This is a state jail felony, punishable by up to 2 years in jail and/or a maximum fine of $10,000
  • 5 or more but less than 10 items – This is a third-degree felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and/or a maximum fine of $10,000
  • 10 or more but less than 50 items – This is a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and/or a maximum fine of $10,000
  • 50 or more items – This is a first-degree felony punishable by up to 99 years to life in prison and/or a maximum fine of $10,000

In addition, the court can also order the defendant to make restitution to the victim for lost income or expenses (other than attorney fees) incurred due to the offense. The state may also prosecute defendants for separate crimes committed along with identity theft, such as mail fraud and wire fraud.
