What action can lead a person to be charged with Reckless Damage or Destruction under the Texas Penal Code?

  1. Endangering a Child

  2. Government

  3. Possession

  4. Recklessly damaging or destroying property without consent

The correct answer is: Recklessly damaging or destroying property without consent

Reckless Damage or Destruction can occur when a person intentionally or recklessly damages or destroys someone else's property without their consent. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not involve damaging or destroying property. Option A refers to endangering a child, which can result in a separate criminal charge of child endangerment. Option B mentions government, which is not relevant in relation to a charge of Reckless Damage or Destruction. Option C refers to possession, which could potentially involve the possession of stolen property, but does not involve physical damage or destruction of property.
