Texas Extortion Laws: Theft by Coercion, Sextortion and Penalties
Independently fact-checked against primary sources (last audited October 17, 2026). · 18 primary sources cited on this page. How we verify our legal content
In Texas, blackmail and extortion are not crimes by those names. Tex. Penal Code 31.02 folded "extortion" and "acquisition of property by threat" into the single offense of theft, so obtaining property through a threat on the Penal Code's list of coercion threats (1.07(a)(9)) is theft under Section 31.03, graded on the same tiers as any other theft. Threatening to commit certain sex offenses to obtain intimate images, sexual conduct or money (Section 21.18), or threatening to disclose intimate visual material to obtain a benefit (Section 21.16(c)), are separate state jail felonies. Since September 1, 2025, threatening to produce or distribute deep fake media with intent to coerce or extort is also a separate misdemeanor (Section 21.165(b-1)).

Jurisdiction scope: This article covers the Texas Penal Code provisions that reach extortion and blackmail: the coercion definition in Section 1.07(a)(9), the theft provisions in Sections 31.01 through 31.03, sexual coercion in Section 21.18, the threat-to-disclose offense in Section 21.16(c), the deep fake threat offense in Section 21.165(b-1), and the punishment ranges in Chapter 12. It does not cover what to do if you are being threatened or how to get images removed (see our sextortion scams guide), the crime of posting intimate images itself (see revenge porn laws by state), federal offenses (covered on our extortion and blackmail laws by state hub), or local ordinances.
Is blackmail illegal in Texas?
Yes, the conduct is a crime, but Texas does not use the word blackmail or extortion for it. Section 31.02 of the Penal Code states:
"Theft as defined in Section 31.03 constitutes a single offense superseding the separate offenses previously known as theft, theft by false pretext, conversion by a bailee, theft from the person, shoplifting, acquisition of property by threat, swindling, swindling by worthless check, embezzlement, extortion, receiving or concealing embezzled property, and receiving or concealing stolen property."
The path from a threat to a theft charge runs through three definitions. Section 31.03(a) makes it an offense to "unlawfully appropriate[] property with intent to deprive the owner of property," and Section 31.03(b)(1) makes appropriation unlawful if "it is without the owner's effective consent." Section 31.01(3)(A) then provides that consent "is not effective if... induced by deception or coercion." "Coercion" is defined for the whole Penal Code in Section 1.07(a)(9), covered below.
Put together: when a person hands over money or property because of a threat on the coercion list, the person who took it has appropriated property without effective consent, which is theft. Blackmail is the everyday word; theft is the Texas charge.
Texas extortion offenses and penalties
Four Penal Code offenses do the work that standalone extortion statutes do in other states.
| Offense | Statute | What it prohibits | Class | Statutory penalty range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft (by coercion) | Tex. Penal Code 31.03, with 1.07(a)(9) and 31.01(3)(A) | Unlawfully appropriating property with intent to deprive the owner, without the owner's effective consent; consent induced by coercion is not effective | Class C misdemeanor up to first-degree felony, under the tiers in 31.03(e) | From a fine of up to $500 (Class C) up to 5 to 99 years or life plus a fine of up to $10,000 (first degree) |
| Sexual coercion | Tex. Penal Code 21.18 | Intentionally threatening, including by coercion or extortion, to commit a listed offense to obtain intimate visual material, sexual conduct or, under subsection (b) only, money or another benefit of value | State jail felony; third-degree felony with a prior conviction under 21.18 | 180 days to 2 years in a state jail and up to $10,000; third degree 2 to 10 years and up to $10,000 |
| Threat to disclose intimate visual material | Tex. Penal Code 21.16(c), (g) | Intentionally threatening to disclose intimate visual material without the depicted person's consent, to obtain a benefit in return for not disclosing or in connection with the disclosure | State jail felony | 180 days to 2 years in a state jail and up to $10,000 |
| Threat to produce or distribute deep fake media | Tex. Penal Code 21.165(b-1), (c-1) | Intentionally threatening to produce or distribute deep fake media with intent to coerce, extort, harass, or intimidate another person | Class B misdemeanor; Class A misdemeanor with a prior conviction under 21.165 or if the threatened media appears to depict a person younger than 18 | Up to 180 days, up to $2,000, or both; Class A up to one year, up to $4,000, or both |
The ranges come from the Chapter 12 punishment sections: Section 12.23 (Class C), 12.22 (Class B), 12.21 (Class A), 12.35 (state jail felony), 12.34 (third degree), 12.33 (second degree) and 12.32 (first degree). Section 12.35(a) sets the state jail range "except as provided by Subsection (c)," so some state jail felonies can be punished more heavily.
How theft by coercion is graded
Because a coercion-based taking is theft, it has no separate extortion grade. The value tiers in Section 31.03(e) are: less than $100 is a Class C misdemeanor; $100 to under $750 is a Class B misdemeanor; $750 to under $2,500 is a Class A misdemeanor; $2,500 to under $30,000 is a state jail felony; $30,000 to under $150,000 is a third-degree felony; $150,000 to under $300,000 is a second-degree felony; and $300,000 or more is a first-degree felony. Several of those tiers also list other conditions besides value, which our Texas theft laws page explains.
| Class | Punishment section | Statutory range |
|---|---|---|
| Class C misdemeanor | 12.23 | Fine of up to $500 |
| Class B misdemeanor | 12.22 | Up to 180 days in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, or both |
| Class A misdemeanor | 12.21 | Up to one year in jail, a fine of up to $4,000, or both |
| State jail felony | 12.35 | 180 days to 2 years in a state jail; fine of up to $10,000 |
| Third-degree felony | 12.34 | 2 to 10 years in prison; fine of up to $10,000 |
| Second-degree felony | 12.33 | 2 to 20 years in prison; fine of up to $10,000 |
| First-degree felony | 12.32 | 5 to 99 years or life in prison; fine of up to $10,000 |
Section 31.03(f)(3) raises an offense in the tiers of 31.03(e)(1) through (6) to the next higher category if it is shown at trial that the owner of the property was, at the time of the offense, "an elderly individual" or "a nonprofit organization." The first-degree tier, 31.03(e)(7), is not included.
What kinds of threats count as coercion in Texas?
Section 1.07(a)(9) of the Penal Code supplies the list. It reads:
"Coercion" means a threat, however communicated: (A) to commit an offense; (B) to inflict bodily injury in the future on the person threatened or another; (C) to accuse a person of any offense; (D) to expose a person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule; (E) to harm the credit or business repute of any person; or (F) to take or withhold action as a public servant, or to cause a public servant to take or withhold action.
Three features of the definition matter for blackmail-type conduct:
- The medium is irrelevant. The words "however communicated" mean a threat by text, e-mail, social media, letter or in person all fit.
- Item (D) is the closest thing to a "secrets" clause. Texas does not use the phrase "expose a secret." Its list speaks of exposing a person "to hatred, contempt, or ridicule."
- The list has six items and none mentions immigration status or intimate images. Threats involving intimate images are addressed by Sections 21.16(c) and 21.18, and threats to produce or distribute deep fake media by Section 21.165(b-1), described below.
What the threat must obtain is property. The theft offense in 31.03(a) is about appropriating property with intent to deprive the owner of it, so the coercion route to a theft charge involves money or other property changing hands.
Is it extortion to threaten to sue, report someone, or post a bad review?
The Texas coercion list includes a threat "to accuse a person of any offense" (item C) and a threat "to harm the credit or business repute of any person" (item E). It does not separately name a threat to file a civil lawsuit. Beyond that statutory text, whether a particular demand amounts to theft by coercion is a question for a lawyer licensed in Texas.
Sextortion laws in Texas
Texas reaches sextortion through three Penal Code provisions: two state jail felonies and a misdemeanor threat offense for deep fake media.
Sexual coercion, Section 21.18. Subsection (b) makes it an offense to intentionally threaten, "including by coercion or extortion," to commit an offense under Chapter 43 or one of a list of Penal Code sections (among them 21.16, 21.02, 21.03, 21.08, 21.11, 21.12, 21.15, 21.17, 22.011 and 22.021, plus listed parts of 20A.02), to obtain, "in return for not committing the threatened offense or in connection with the threatened offense," any of three benefits: "(1) intimate visual material; (2) an act involving sexual conduct causing arousal or gratification; or (3) a monetary benefit or other benefit of value." Subsection (c) covers threats to commit an offense under Chapter 19 or 20 or other listed parts of Section 20A.02, but only to obtain intimate visual material or sexual conduct; money is not one of the subsection (c) benefits.
Section 21.18(d) states that the section "applies to a threat regardless of how that threat is communicated, including a threat transmitted through e-mail or an Internet website, social media account, or chat room and a threat made by other electronic or technological means." Under Section 21.18(e), the offense is a state jail felony, except that it is a felony of the third degree "if it is shown on the trial of the offense that the defendant has previously been convicted of an offense under this section."
Threat to disclose intimate visual material, Section 21.16(c). This subsection makes it an offense if a person:
"intentionally threatens to disclose, without the consent of the depicted person, visual material depicting another person with the person's intimate parts exposed or engaged in sexual conduct and the actor makes the threat to obtain a benefit: (1) in return for not making the disclosure; or (2) in connection with the threatened disclosure."
Section 21.16(g) makes an offense under the section a state jail felony.
Threat to produce or distribute deep fake media, Section 21.165(b-1). Since September 1, 2025 (S.B. 441), a person commits an offense if the person "intentionally threatens to produce or distribute deep fake media with the intent to coerce, extort, harass, or intimidate another person." Under Section 21.165(c-1), it is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 180 days in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, or both), or a Class A misdemeanor (up to one year, a fine of up to $4,000, or both) if the actor has a prior conviction under Section 21.165 or threatened to produce or distribute deep fake media appearing to depict a person younger than 18.
If you or someone you know is being threatened this way, our sextortion scams guide covers reporting and image-removal steps. For the separate crimes of sharing intimate images or creating sexual deepfakes, see Texas deepfake laws and revenge porn laws by state.
Related Texas offenses people confuse with extortion
- Robbery (Section 29.02). A person commits robbery if, in the course of committing theft and with intent to obtain or maintain control of the property, the person "intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another" or "intentionally or knowingly threatens or places another in fear of imminent bodily injury or death." Robbery is a second-degree felony. The difference from theft by coercion is the immediacy: robbery involves injury or fear of imminent harm during the theft, while the coercion list includes threats of future injury and non-violent threats.
- Terroristic threat (Section 22.07). This offense requires no demand at all. Section 22.07(a) applies to a person who "threatens to commit any offense involving violence to any person or property" with one of several listed intents, including to "place any person in fear of imminent serious bodily injury." Depending on the intent and the person targeted, it ranges from a Class B misdemeanor up to a third-degree felony (22.07(b) through (e)).
- Coercion of public servant or voter (Section 36.03). Using coercion, as defined in 1.07(a)(9), to influence a public servant's specific official action or duty, or to influence a voter not to vote or to vote in a particular manner, is a Class A misdemeanor, or a third-degree felony if the coercion is a threat to commit a felony.
Recent changes
Both sextortion provisions were amended in the 2025 regular session: Section 21.18 by H.B. 1422 and Section 21.16 by S.B. 1621, each effective September 1, 2025. S.B. 441, also effective September 1, 2025, added the deep fake threat offense in Section 21.165(b-1). Section 21.18 itself dates from 2017 legislation (H.B. 2552 and H.B. 1808, effective September 1, 2017). The theft provisions in Sections 31.01 and 31.03 were also amended in 2025. The text quoted on this page is the version in force on the date above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is blackmail illegal in Texas?
Texas has no offense called blackmail or extortion. Getting property by a threat on the coercion list in Tex. Penal Code 1.07(a)(9) is charged as theft under 31.03, and threats tied to intimate images or sex offenses are covered by 21.16(c) and 21.18. Threatening to produce or distribute deep fake media to coerce or extort is a misdemeanor under 21.165(b-1).
Is extortion a felony in Texas?
It depends on the offense charged. Theft by coercion is graded under 31.03(e): on value alone it is a misdemeanor below $2,500 and a felony at $2,500 or more, and 31.03(e) lists other grading conditions too. Sexual coercion (21.18) and threatening to disclose intimate visual material for a benefit (21.16(c)) are state jail felonies regardless of any amount. Threatening to produce or distribute deep fake media to coerce or extort (21.165(b-1)) is a Class B or Class A misdemeanor.
What is the penalty for sextortion in Texas?
Sexual coercion under Tex. Penal Code 21.18 is a state jail felony (180 days to 2 years and a fine of up to $10,000) and becomes a third-degree felony (2 to 10 years and up to $10,000) if the defendant has a prior conviction under 21.18. A threat to disclose intimate visual material for a benefit under 21.16(c) is a state jail felony. A threat to produce or distribute deep fake media with intent to coerce or extort (21.165(b-1)) is a Class B misdemeanor, or a Class A misdemeanor with a prior conviction under 21.165 or if the media appears to depict a person younger than 18.
Is it illegal to threaten to expose someone in Texas unless they pay?
The coercion list in Tex. Penal Code 1.07(a)(9) includes threats to expose a person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule, to accuse a person of any offense, and to harm the credit or business repute of any person. Appropriating property with consent induced by such a threat is theft under 31.03.
Does it matter whether the threat was made online?
No. Section 1.07(a)(9) defines coercion as a threat however communicated, and 21.18(d) applies sexual coercion to threats sent by e-mail, websites, social media, chat rooms and other electronic means.
Is robbery the same as extortion in Texas?
No. Robbery under Tex. Penal Code 29.02 is committing theft while causing bodily injury or threatening or placing someone in fear of imminent bodily injury or death, and it is a second-degree felony.
