Texas Criminal Laws
The primary laws identifying criminal activity in Texas are found the Texas Penal Code. As in all states, criminal acts in Texas are exclusively set forth in statutes, written laws enacted by the state legislature. Accordingly, in Texas (as in other states), you can only be charged with a crime if the act committed is prohibited by some provision of the Texas Penal Code. The TPC specifies whether a crime is considered to be a misdemeanor or a felony, and generally establishes the potential penalties for a specific criminal conviction. The Texas Penal Code addresses a wide range of criminal activity, from assault to white collar crime, from drug offenses to sex crimes, drinking and driving, criminal fraud or misrepresentation, theft crimes, burglary, robbery and cyber/computer-related crimes.
