Definition Robbery Charges in Texas

Under Texas Penal Code §29.02, "Robbery," occurs when the perpetrator "intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly" injures another person while committing theft. It also occurs when the perpetrator places the victim in fear of imminent bodily injury or death.

If you have been arrested after taking someone else's property by force or threatening to use force, you could be charged with the felony criminal offense of robbery. Take action immediately and contact an attorney the moment you are arrested, as you could be facing serious penalties.

Aggravated Robbery

Robbery charges will under certain circumstances be increased to aggravated robbery:

  • If the perpetrator causes serious bodily injury to the victim
  • If a deadly weapon such as a firearm or a knife is shown or used
  • If bodily injury or threats of injury or death to a victim who is either disabled or aged 65 years or old
