What is Burglary of a Habitation?
Texas law defines burglary under Texas Penal Code §30.02 as unlawful entry into (or remaining concealed within) a home, business or any type of enclosed structure with the intent to commit a felony, theft or an assault. Although most burglary cases involve theft, the act itself is not limited to theft. For example, if a person breaks into an apartment in order to attack someone, that person would be charged with burglary of a habitation.
Burglary of a habitation is a second degree felony. You could be sentenced to 2 to 20 years in prison. The burglary is enhanced to a first degree felony with imprisonment up to 99 years or life if you entered the habitation with the intent to commit or actual commission of a felony other than felony theft (for example, aggravated assault or sexual assault). In addition, you could be fined $10,000.
