OK - we have seen the punishment range for the crime of insurance fraud in Texas.
The penalty range is what is known as a "sliding scale." The more money that is stolen, the greater the range of punishment for the crime. This type of punishment range (sliding scale) is not unusual for theft/fraud type of cases. The greater the amount of money that is stolen, the harsher the penalty range. Obviously, the penalty range for a small amount of fraud (for example, under $50) will be much less than that for stealing $100,000.00.
So, the first step for Texas crimes in terms of sentencing is to see if their is a "sliding scale" for punishment based on the amount of money stolen. In the case of insurance fraud, a sliding scale is in effect so to determine the punishment range for the crime, the amount of money stolen must be computed.
