Property stolen that is a personal identification certificate issued by this state or another state is what level?

• A. Class B Misdemeanor
• B. State Jail Felony
• C. Class A Misdemeanor
• D. Capital Felony

Answer: (A)

In Texas theft law, certain kinds of property have a fixed offense level regardless of value, and a personal identification certificate issued by this state or another state is one of those. Stealing a government-issued ID is designated as a Class B misdemeanor, rather than being driven by the dollar value of the item. This reflects the specific category of property and the policy that while taking such documents is illegal, it is not punished as severely as higher-level felonies or as a higher misdemeanor based on value alone. The other levels (Class A, State Jail felony, Capital felony) apply to different circumstances or higher-value/property types, so the best choice is Class B Misdemeanor.
