Texas Penal Code Practice

Criminal solicitation, as defined in the Texas Penal Code, involves soliciting, encouraging, directing, aiding, or attempting to aid another person to engage in specific conduct that would constitute a crime. The intention behind criminal solicitation is to involve someone in criminal activity by actively encouraging them to commit the offense. This differs from the other options provided: A. Intent to expose anus or genitals with gratification is related to indecent exposure, not criminal solicitation. B. Intent to abduct another refers to the offense of kidnapping, not criminal solicitation. D. Intent to promote and enhance social/emotional outcomes is not a legal concept associated with criminal solicitation.
