⚖️ Texas Law — Charge Details
Up to 1 year jail + $4,000 fine (1st offense)
Burglary of Vehicles under Texas Penal Code § 30.04 is committed when a person breaks into or enters a vehicle without consent and with intent to commit a felony or theft. A first offense is a Class A Misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail, $4,000 fine). With one prior conviction, the charge becomes a State Jail Felony; with two or more prior convictions, it becomes a third-degree felony. Austin has seen high rates of vehicle burglaries; law enforcement often aggregates multiple vehicle break-ins into single charging documents.
