      What Constitutes Burglary In Texas?

      Burglary in Texas is defined by two elements which must be present in the incident to prove that the offense occurred.

      These elements are:

      • Unlawful entry into a habitation or building
      • Having the intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault while inside

      The crime involves entering a private habitation or building, or hiding in a habitation or building intending to commit a felony, theft, or assault. Even in cases where the intended crime was not completed, a burglary charge can still apply. Burglary is generally charged as a state jail felony except when it occurs in a habitation, in which case the charge is elevated to second-degree felony.

      State jail felonies are punishable by up to 2 years in jail and/or fines of up to $10,000. Second-degree felonies carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison and/or fines of up to $10,000. Burglary can be elevated even further to a first-degree felony if the intent was to commit a felony other than theft. First-degree felonies are punishable by 5 up to 99 years in prison with fines of up to $10,000.

      Less serious types of burglary can include burglary of vehicles or coin-operated machines, which can lead to misdemeanor charges.
