Texas Law

I need to know the potential sentence of Misdemeanor Class B (Theft over $50 under $500) in State of Texas for the incident (shoplifting) on March 20, 2000.  
I am not sure if the law and the potential sentence have not been changed since 2000.   If they have not been changed since then, what are the law and the potential sentence?
Pls let me know the source that I can print out.

Thanks so much

I can tell you that Texas has a 3 strikes you are out law like a few other states.
3 offenses no matter the crime (even stealing one pack of cigarettes) can get you life in prison.........3 strikes you are out.
I hope this is your first offense.
