What is Burglary of a Habitation in Houston?
Texas law defines
burglary under Texas Penal Code §30.02 as unlawful entry into (or
remaining concealed within) a home, business or any type of enclosed
structure with the intent to commit a felony, theft or an assault. Although most burglary cases involve theft, the act itself is not limited to theft. For
example, if a person breaks into an apartment in order to attack
someone, that person would be charged with burglary of a habitation.
Burglary of a habitation is a second degree felony. You
could be sentenced to 2 to 20 years in prison. The burglary is enhanced
to a first degree felony with imprisonment up to 99 years or life if
you entered the habitation with the intent to commit or actual
commission of a felony other than felony theft (for example, aggravated
assault or sexual assault). In addition, you could be fined $10,000.
