Q: he got 18 months as a felon for credit card abuse. two charges. 1 for a coke and 2 for purchases at Walmart. totaling $186.00 for both purchases. He admitted to the charges, was scared and signed his life away. I am his grandmother. Is there anything I can do?I have read Texas law up to $1500.00 is a misdemeanor.I feel the charge is excessive. He has been transferred to Hutchins State penitentiary in Dallas before Christmas and he still is on the no visitor list. He is a small guy, a very kind kid. He had a Arianism at 8 years old and can't talk when he gets nervous. He has always been bullied. I am so worried. Please help me if you can.H
