Re: Theft

It is theft by conversion. It is defined as Theft, and is method of stealing. It is a criminal offense, and also a civil cause of action.

You can find it in the Penal Code � 31.02. CONSOLIDATION OF THEFT OFFENSES.

Theft as defined in Section 31.03 constitutes a single offense superseding the separate offenses previously known as theft, theft by false pretext, conversion by a bailee, theft from the person, shoplifting, acquisition of property by threat, swindling, swindling by worthless check, embezzlement, extortion, receiving or concealing embezzled property, and receiving or concealing stolen property.
