Texas Penal Code Practice

Which offense involves tampering with tangible property and causing pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person?

1. Leaving Child in Motor Vehicle

2. Robbery

3. Graffiti

4. Criminal Mischief

The correct answer is: Criminal Mischief

Leaving a child in a motor vehicle is a form of child endangerment, not tampering with property. Robbery typically involves taking another person's property through force or threat, rather than tampering with it. Graffiti is a form of vandalism, but may not necessarily result in pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person. Criminal mischief, on the other hand, specifically involves tampering with tangible property and causing pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person, making it the correct answer.
