Texas Penal Code Practice

What offense is committed if a person enters or remains in a building of another without effective consent?

1. Aggravated Robbery

2. Burglary of Vehicle

3. Criminal Trespass

4. Theft of less than $50

The correct answer is: Criminal Trespass

Entering or remaining in a building of another without effective consent constitutes criminal trespass. This is a crime in many jurisdictions, and is distinct from other types of theft or robbery such as aggravated robbery (where a weapon is used), burglary of a vehicle (entering or stealing from a car), and theft of less than $50 (where the value of the stolen item is below a certain amount). It is important to note that consent can be given in different ways, and if someone has permission to enter or remain in a building, they are not committing criminal trespass.
