In Texas, stealing a cow is classified as livestock theft, which is a serious offense. Under Texas law, the theft of livestock, including cattle, can be charged as a felony, with penalties varying based on the value of the stolen animals. If the value exceeds $2,500, it is typically classified as a state jail felony, while lower values may result in misdemeanor charges. Additionally, Texas has specific statutes that address livestock theft to protect farmers and ranchers from economic loss.

No.
Stealing is theft. Theft is a crime. It is against the law. Depending on the amount of stolen and the means and methods by which it is stolen, it could be serious enough to spend time in jail.
Almost everybody agrees that stealing is wrong. That is why it is against the law.
Stupidity Law!

Texas has the most cow and calf pairs in the United States.
Common law in England developed over the years as people continued to sue each other. Think of it this way: In the year 1400, Alan sued Bob for stealing his cow. Bob was ordered to pay $100 to Alan in order to pay him back. This established the law that anybody who stole a cow had to pay the victim back. If, in the year 1500, Charlie stole a cow from Danny, then Charlie would have to pay Danny, because he has broken the law. Common law can be changed, however. Because a cow is worth more than $100 today, if Edward stole a cow from Frank, he would have to pay Frank $500 instead of $100. This is how common law is changed. Another way common law can change is this: If the courts decided that instead of paying him money, the thief should have to give the cow back, the judges can change the punishment.
