Freddy Albert Cardenas Robles, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction for burglary, holding that under Texas Penal Code §30.02(a)(1) the intent to commit theft need not be to steal property from within the premises entered, only that the entry was made to further the intended theft. The dissent argued the opposite, insisting the theft must be directed at property in the premises, while the concurrence agreed with the result but emphasized historical statutory language.
