Larry Keene Keeton, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Keeton's theft conviction, holding that the evidence of fair market value—presented as two conflicting price figures—was sufficient for a jury to find the property exceeded the $750 statutory threshold. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that value must be limited to the sale price on the day and at the store of the theft, and noted that the concurrence agreed with the result but emphasized the willing‑seller willing‑buyer definition.
