Examples of Property Crime in Texas

Property crimes are offenses that affect the property of another person, theft is a common example where a person uses deception or force to deprive another of their personal property in order to appropriate the property for themselves.

Burglary and robbery are also property crimes and are serious felonies:

  • A person is guilty of burglary when they enter a building or residence with the intention of committing a felony inside.
  • Robbery involves stealing someone's property directly from their person or immediate control.

Other property crimes involve the destruction or devaluation of someone else's property. Arson and vandalism are prime examples. Intentionally setting someone else's property on fire or defacing it (such as spray painting a building or throwing rocks at windows) can result in serious misdemeanor or felony charges.
