Fact-check: “Texas raised its dollar threshold for felony before CA”
Verdict: False (88% confidence)
California raised its felony theft dollar threshold from $400 to $950 in 2010 via AB 2372, effective January 1, 2011. Texas raised its state-jail-felony threshold from $1,500 to $2,500 via HB 1396, effective September 1, 2015. California acted roughly four years before Texas, so the claim has the chronology backwards.
