Under Texas law, forfeiture may be pursued for which offense?

• A. Felony theft
• B. Class B misdemeanor assault
• C. Traffic violation
• D. Class C misdemeanor theft

Answer: (A)

Texas allows forfeiture of property that is connected to the commission of a felony. When theft is charged as a felony, the government can pursue forfeiture of assets tied to that crime. The other options listed are misdemeanors or a traffic violation, which generally do not authorize forfeiture under the standard statutes. That’s why felony theft is the correct choice.
