Texas Penal Code § 37.09 makes it a Third-Degree Felony to alter, destroy, conceal, or fabricate physical evidence with intent to impair its availability in any investigation or official proceeding. This charge commonly arises when someone destroys a weapon, flushes drugs, or fabricates records when they know police are involved. Tampering with a human corpse or evidence in a capital felony investigation elevates the charge to a Second-Degree Felony.
