BURGLARY HABITATION INTEND OTHER FELONY
Burglary Habitation Intend Other Felony in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “BURGLARY HABITATION INTEND OTHER FELONY” means
Texas Penal Code § 30.02(d) defines the first-degree variant of burglary of a habitation involving a felony other than felony theft. The State must prove a burglary under § 30.02(a): that, without the effective consent of the owner, the defendant entered a habitation with intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault; remained concealed there with such intent; or entered and committed or attempted to commit a felony, theft, or assault. Two additional findings define this variant: the premises were a habitation — a structure or vehicle adapted for the overnight accommodation of persons — and any party to the offense entered with intent to commit, or committed or attempted to commit, a felony other than felony theft, such as aggravated assault or sexual assault. Burglary of a habitation involving only theft, attempted theft, or assault is the second-degree offense under § 30.02(c)(2).
