How does Texas punish forgery?

Forgery is a crime that can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances surrounding the crime. Your charge may even depend on whether or not the alleged victim was an elderly or incapacitated person.

Penalties for a forgery conviction can include:

• Forging a will, deed, or checks: 18 months to 2 years in jail and up to $10,000 in fines
• Forging paper money, postage, or bonds: 2 to 10 years in jail and $10,000 in fines
• Forging any other instrument: Up to 1 year in jail and up to $4,000 in fines
