Houston Trespassing Defense Lawyer
Criminal Trespass: The Facts
According to Texas law, criminal trespass occurs when a person enters a property or a vehicle without permission. For example, you may be accused of criminal trespass if:
- You were given a verbal warning to stay off of the property
- You entered someone’s house, office, or land without permission
- You failed to heed posted “No Trespassing” or “Private Property” signs
- You climbed a fence or other barrier to enter a property
If you are convicted of criminal trespass, you could be looking at jail time and hefty fines. Penalties can be even harsher, depending on whether you damaged any property or committed any other crimes. And, no matter what the penalty, you’ll be stuck with a permanent criminal record, which may make it hard to find a job or a place to live.
