Relating to the unauthorized entry, occupancy, sale, rental, lease, advertisement for sale, rental, or lease, or conveyance of real property, including the removal of certain unauthorized occupants of a dwelling; creating criminal offenses; increasing a criminal penalty; authorizing a fee.

HB 2131 modifies Texas law to create new criminal penalties for unauthorized entry, occupancy, or damage to real property, including homes. It classifies offenses from Class C misdemeanors (e.g., minor financial loss under $100) up to third-degree felonies (e.g., $30,000+ damage or causing death to livestock), with higher penalties for specific scenarios like disrupting water supplies, damaging livestock fences, or tampering with catalytic converters. The bill directly affects property owners dealing with unauthorized occupants and individuals who enter or damage property without permission. It establishes clear financial thresholds and specific circumstances that determine criminal penalties, aiming to standardize enforcement for property-related violations.
