he took the gun from the car it's burglary of a motor vehicle.
Yes BOV (Burglary of Vehicle) is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas.
Theft of a firearm is a state jail felony whether he returned the gun at a later date or not.
Either way, burglarizing a car (even if doors unlocked) to teach a gun owner a 'lesson' is idiotic. Hopefully they run the prints on the gun and bag and issue a warrant for the suspect.
