Death
The usual penalty if found guilty for check forgery in the state of Indiana is a Class D felony. Also, fines can apply. It is also still on the Indiana books that a person caught writing forged checks can receive the penalty of 100 floggings, or whips to the back. This law is "outdated" and hasn't been used in quite a long time.
What is the statute of limitations FOR CHECK FORGERY IN TX
With the purpose to defraud, the person makes, completes, alters, counterfeits, possesses or utters any written instrument that purports to be or is calculated to become or to represent if completed the act of a person who did not authorize that act. "Check" Forgery is considered forgery in the second degree, which is a Class C Felony. Take special note that by simply possessing a forged check makes you guilty of forgery in the second degree. Most people think you have to "forge" someones signature to be guilty of forgery, however, if you attempt to add numbers to a check to make the check amount different from the legal written amount, you have also committed forgery in the second degree. To be guilty of forgery in the first degree the legal definition (first paragraph) must be applied to money, a security, postage or revenue stamps or other government issued instrument. (also included are stocks and bonds)
Forgery is a Class C felony punishable by 1 day to 1 year in the county jail, or 1 to 7 years in the penitentiary, and/or a fine of up to $5,000.00. It is a probation eligible offense.

whats the penalty for hindering in kleberg county
Forgery means the wrong person, company, etc. makde it. Illegial means not legal. For example, if Mr. Thief signs my name to a check, then the signature (check) is a forgery.
This would constitute both forgery and a form of fraud, so they'd be punished by whatever the state's penalty for those crimes are.
