Understanding Texas Burglary Charges
Burglary is a serious offense in Texas, punishable under Section 30.02 of the Texas Penal Code. It occurs when a person, without consent, enters a building or habitation with the intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault. Burglary can also involve remaining hidden in a building or habitation with the same intent.
The severity of burglary charges depends on the type of building involved. For instance, burglary of a habitation (such as a home) is generally a second-degree felony, while burglary of a building (like a store) is typically a state jail-felony. If the burglary involves a coin-operated machine or a vehicle, it can be charged as a Class A misdemeanor.
Defending against burglary charges may include demonstrating a lack of intent, disputing the alleged entry, or providing an alibi. Engaging a skilled criminal defense attorney is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome for your case.
