HB 4467 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

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 4467 amends Texas Penal Code Section 28.03 to increase penalties for unauthorized entry, occupancy, or damage to real property, including removing occupants from dwellings. It classifies offenses by financial loss: minor damage (under $100) becomes a Class C misdemeanor, while higher losses or specific acts like damaging livestock fences or tampering with catalytic converters escalate penalties to felonies. The bill also authorizes a fee for related administrative processes. This directly affects individuals who illegally occupy, damage, or interfere with property, with penalties increasing based on the severity of financial harm or property disruption.
