What “TERR THREAT IMP PUB SERV/PUB FEAR SBI/INFLU GV” means
Texas Penal Code § 22.07 defines terroristic threat, and § 22.07(e) covers its most serious intent variants, graded as third-degree felonies. The State must prove the defendant threatened to commit any offense involving violence to any person or property with one of three specific intents: to cause impairment or interruption of public communications, public transportation, public water, gas, or power supply, or another public service; to place the public or a substantial group of the public in fear of serious bodily injury; or to influence the conduct or activities of a branch or agency of the federal government, the state, or a political subdivision of the state. These variants target threats aimed at infrastructure, mass fear, or government decision-making rather than at a single individual. The offense is complete upon the threat made with the required intent; actual disruption, public fear, or governmental response is not an element.
| Charged as | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-degree felony | 2 to 10 years in prison (TDCJ) | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.34 |
