What Is Embezzlement?
Embezzlement is the fraudulent appropriation of another person's property by a person who has been entrusted with that property. This crime typically involves an employee who steals money or property from their employer.
Embezzlement is a felony in Texas, which means that you could face prison time and/or thousands of dollars in fines if you are convicted. If you are an employee and the property you are accused of taking is valued at more than $1,500, you could be charged with a capital felony instead.
In addition to facing criminal penalties, an embezzlement conviction can also leave you with a damaged reputation. You may find it difficult to find work after a conviction, especially if the embezzlement involved you stealing from your employer.
