California says $950, Texas says $2,500, here is shoplifting limit of other US states

- Shoplifting penalties across the United States vary widely, reflecting differing approaches. California's $950 felony threshold emphasizes rehabilitation, while Texas, with a $2,500 limit, takes a tougher stance. New York ($1,000), Florida ($300), and Arizona ($1,000) strike a balance between deterrence and rehabilitation, resulting in a patchwork of regulations and penalties
