Jeff SwainTheft from Elderly
I seem to recall that there was a bill enhancing the punishment for someone who rips off an elderly person, but can't find it in the Penal Code. Did it not pass or am I just missing it?

Clay A.Section 31.03 (f) (3), Penal Code. Ripping off old people, what is going on in your jurisdiction anyway? (Sorry just kidding)

Jeff SwainNot just an old person, but a 97-year-old frail widow who was going to use the $2,000 to buy new hearing aids! Talk about jury appeal.
Thanks for the help.
