SB 1123 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the prosecution and punishment of the offense of theft of petroleum product.

SB 1123 amends Texas Penal Code Section 31.19 to increase penalties for theft of petroleum products (like gasoline or oil) under specific circumstances. It raises the offense category if the perpetrator organized others, had a prior conviction for this crime, conspired with others, or possessed a firearm during the theft. The bill also clarifies that if the theft violates other laws, prosecution can occur under both this section and the other law. These changes apply only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of petroleum theft meeting the listed aggravating factors.
