What “CRIM TRESPASS HABIT/SHLTR/SUPRFUND/INFSTRT” means
Criminal trespass, Texas Penal Code § 30.05, is entering or remaining on or in property of another without effective consent when the person had notice that entry was forbidden or received notice to depart and failed to do so; notice includes verbal or written warnings, fencing designed to exclude intruders, posted signs, purple paint marks meeting statutory specifications, and visible crops grown for human consumption. The court-record label of this charge abbreviates 'habitation/shelter/Superfund/infrastructure': under § 30.05(d)(3)(A), the offense is a Class A rather than Class B misdemeanor when the trespass is committed in a habitation (a structure adapted for overnight accommodation) or a shelter center (a family violence shelter), on a Superfund environmental cleanup site, or on or in a critical infrastructure facility — a statutorily defined category covering places such as refineries, power generating facilities, water treatment plants, and similar enclosed or posted facilities.
