Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Stole from family member

I made a huge mistake. I had keys to the house & stole jewelry. Probably totally around $2000 or so.

If they press charges, what would be the crime?

It's my first offense.

Theft of an item with a value over $1500 is a third degree felony. Depending on the circumstances under which you acquired the keys to the premises you could be facing additional more serious charges.
