Relating to creating the criminal offenses of real property theft and real property fraud and establishing a statute of limitations for those offenses; harmonizing other statute of limitations provisions; increasing a criminal penalty.

SB 36 creates two new criminal offenses: real property theft (unlawfully taking someone's land or buildings) and real property fraud (deceiving someone to gain control of their property). It establishes a time limit (statute of limitations) for prosecutors to file charges for these crimes and aligns other time limits across Texas criminal law. The bill also increases penalties for certain offenses, though specific penalty amounts are not detailed in the provided text. This directly affects individuals who commit property-related crimes and the Texas criminal justice system handling such cases.
