Burglary of a Motor Vehicle
The Legislature has approved stiff new penalties for repeat offenders of burglary of a motor vehicle.
The punishment for a first time offender is up to one year in jail. Now, if a person has been convicted or put on deferred adjudication for burglary of a motor vehicle, the second offense has a minimum confinement of six months in jail.
The minimum term of probation for a second offense is raised to one year.
If a person has two prior convictions for burglary of a motor vehicle, the third offense is now prosecuted as a state jail felony. The punishment range for a state jail felony is six months to two years in state jail.
