Theft under 50$ is a class C misdemeanor(Texas Penal code 31.03(e)(1)(a)) unless the actor was a public servant at a time of the crime or was in contractual relationship with the government, or the victim was elderly, in which case it is a class B misdemeanor(Texas Penal code 31.03(f)(1-3))

have you tried talking to the people themselves? I know that when we first moved to our 80 acres, we didn't have all the money in the world to start out with. We had to keep our horses in small pens too., for about 4 months. now we have a nice big pen and are working on our pastures. They didn't have shelter either. They did fine. I live in South Dakota. If the horse looks healthy...whats wrong with it? If you don't see them every day and you don't know if they are excersising the horse...I took mine for walks and still do. It's a nice spending that time with them. I ride them too, but I don't like it to be all work and no play. I would try to befriend the people. Find out the situation. A lot of horses live their life in a small stall at a fancy stable...their owners might come see them twice a month...that doesn't make the horse any happier. Now that horse who is in a 20 x 20 pen, probably see it's owner 2 times a day, gets talked to, brushed and loved every day. It's a happy horse. This is just my thoughts. I could see calling the humane society if the pen was filled with crap and there was a starving, unhappy horse standing in the crap...but even if it was in a pasture, it would still be standing in mud. Not everyone has the same situation but sometimes befriending helps more than just calling the law.

It's a misdemeanor-- for any item under 50.00.
You could possibly even be cited and released.

midemeanor; however if you shop lift any form of meat (say for instance, you steal bolgna), it is a felony. I always thought that was interesting...
