In Texas even if you steal $100 you can go to jail for 180 days.

The nuance in CA (before it recently changed) was that there was absolutely NOTHING you could do if they stole 3 lawnmowers.

Besides why fight this? You already know you're wrong.

The penalty for misdemeanor larceny in California is also 6 months in county jail and that has been true continuously since Spanish rule to the present day. The difference between Texas and California is that in California you can do 3 years in state prison for stealing $1000 and that is not the case in Texas.

Maybe the penalty written down, but not in practice. And that's the one that matters.

Also in Texas you can also be shot after 6pm by the shopkeep for stealing and killed and that's 100% legal.
