Texas Penal Code Practice

Aggravated robbery is defined under Texas law as a more serious form of robbery that involves the use of threats or the presence of a weapon during the commission of the crime. The correct answer captures this definition perfectly, as it involves taking money from someone while using threats of violence. This scenario clearly demonstrates the essential elements of aggravated robbery: the unlawful taking of property (money) combined with the use of threats that instill fear in the victim. Such threats elevate the crime's severity, making it aggravated robbery rather than simple theft or robbery.

In contrast, other options fail to meet the criteria for aggravated robbery. Stealing a bike from a park involves theft but lacks the element of threat or violence. Breaking into a house to steal electronics constitutes burglary, which is a separate offense focusing on unlawful entry with intent to commit theft, rather than theft executed with threats or violence. Finally, stealing from a store during a sale, while illegal, typically does not involve the use of threats or violence against a person, which is central to the definition of aggravated robbery. Therefore, the action involving threats of violence is the only scenario that exemplifies aggravated robbery.
