What Constitutes the Crime of "Burglary?"
A person commits burglary if without the effective consent of the owner the person enters a habitation or building with intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault.
People who commits burglary may or may not use a weapon during the commission of the crime. In most states, breaking into another person's residence is considered a more serious offense than breaking into a commercial property due to the immense distress of the victims and the personal nature of the crime. Therefore, a person who burglarizes a residence may be subject to harsher legal penalties if convicted than a person who burglarizes a gas station.
What are the Penalties for Burglary in Texas?
Burglary is a felony offense. Any person who is convicted of burglary may be sentenced with:
- Jail or prison time
- Fines

- Restitution
Additionally, the person's burglary conviction will show up on his/her criminal record, which is accessible to the public. When a person has a burglary conviction on his/her criminal record, it can be very difficult for him/her to obtain employment, housing, and education opportunities.
