Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Was caught shoplifting from an employer. Was not charged with a criminal charge but asked to pay restitution. I payed completely but now am being contacted by Palmer, Reifler, & Assoc. saying i owe a civil penalty fee under the Texas Theft Liability Act. Is this legal? Do i need to pay it to avoid criminal charges?
