Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Addison and Dallas Burglary Lawyer
There are several different types of burglary charges that you could face in Texas. Burglary differs from theft because it requires an individual to enter into a building with the intent to criminally take another person’s property.
Legal Definition of Burglary
Texas Penal Code states that you have committed the offense of burglary if you, without the consent of the person:
- Enter a habitation or building not open to the public with the intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault OR
- Conceal yourself in a habitation/building and commit or attempt to commit a felony, theft, or assault
Depending upon the type of building that you were allegedly seen or caught entering, you could be charged with a second or first degree felony. These charges could result in life imprisonment, a very, very serious sentence.
