Question: 1 / 50

Assuming a person is below 17 years of age, what would be the level of offense if they committed Unlawful Restraint in Texas?

Class A

More than mere preparation

Class "S"

In Texas, if a person below 17 years of age commits Unlawful Restraint, it would be classified as a Class "S" misdemeanor. This is because the Texas Penal Code specifies that if the victim is younger than 17 years old and the offense is committed by someone who is a child under 17 years of age, then the offense is a Class "S" misdemeanor. Options A, D, and B are incorrect. Unlawful Restraint committed by a person under 17 is not a Class A misdemeanor, Class "c" misdemeanor, or "more than mere preparation." The key factor here is the age of both the offender and the victim, which determines the classification of the offense as a Class "S" misdemeanor.

Class "c"
