Understanding Property Crimes in Texas

Property crimes are offenses that affect the property of another person, theft is a common example where a person uses deception or force to deprive another of their personal property in order to appropriate the property for themselves.

Burglary and robbery are also property crimes and are serious felonies:

  • A person is guilty of burglary when they enter a building or residence with the intention of committing a felony inside.
  • Robbery involves stealing someone's property directly from their person or immediate control.

Other property crimes involve the destruction or devaluation of someone else's property. Arson and vandalism are prime examples. Intentionally setting someone else's property on fire or defacing it (such as spray painting a building or throwing rocks at windows) can result in serious misdemeanor or felony charges.

    "I Had Nothing To Worry About"
    I was informed on what was going on and what to expect. I felt like I was treated with respect, and that my situation was very important to the firm. And I had nothing to worry about.
    "I would not hesitate to recommend their services."
    I highly recommend this firm for anyone needing guidance on wills and trusts. As a client with limited background in this area, I was impressed by their ability to make the process so clear and efficient. The team was both professional and personable, ensuring we were confident and well-informed by the end. Their inclusion in my company's legal benefits plan was an added convenience. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.
    "High Ethical Standards"
    Everything was clearly explained. I could tell Mr. H has very high ethical standards which created a sense of trust for us. He was thorough and met all my deadlines. I've had only negative experiences before Mr. H regarding lawyers. I will be recommending him to everyone who needs legal help.
    "Connor was excellent in handling my case."
    Connor was excellent in handling my case. His knowledge and professionalism was outstanding. The Haugen Law office was incredibly friendly and professional. What a wonderful team to work with! I highly recommend them if you are looking for high quality lawyers.
    "Conner is exactly the lawyer you want in the trenches with you representing you in a divorce, or any case, for that matter."
    I don't even know where to begin to describe the amazing job accomplished by Conner and the Haugen Law Firm Team in my divorce case that spanned the course of nearly 4 years! Conner is exactly the lawyer you want in the trenches with you representing you in a divorce, or any case, for that matter. His work is thorough, very organized, professional, detailed, aggressive, and effective- a true class act! Conner and the whole team put me at ease during the most difficult time in my life. No human should have to go to court the extreme amount that I had to in my very litigious divorce, but I was always confident with Conner as my representation and advocate. Hiring him was the best decision I made in this whole process. I am forever grateful to Conner and the whole Haugen Law Firm team for their hard work and dedication in my case. Highly recommend!
    "I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process."
    I researched and wanted a lawyer familiar with military families and the Haugen Law Firm was it! I had so many different factors in my divorce and child custody, and you truly get what you pay for. I am so thankful to have found them and for all the guidance and help through the process. I cannot recommend Connor and Delaney more! This is already a stressful situation and to be able to have a team to help me better understand the ins and outs of the legal tidbits and process helped. It was well worth the cost and even though it feels expensive I know without a doubt that my divorce and custody was done right, and the paperwork shows it. They helped me think of things a regular divorce lawyer wouldn't know due to being a military family. If I need legal help again, I will be coming back for sure! I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process.
    "Handled With Care and Consideration in a Timely Manner"
    I had a court case that was very difficult to manage. I was extremely satisfied with the communication by the Haugen Law Firm. Everything was handled with care and consideration in a very timely manner. It all happened much faster than I expected.
    "Assured That I Am In Good Hands"
    I had no idea how this all would work. But, no matter how small and confusing my questions were they were all treated with importance and taken seriously. I was never pushed, but was always assured that I am in good hands. I was able to trust John, which is rare. I have no second thoughts about having him as my lawyer or recommending him to my loved ones.
