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.

SB 1995 amends Texas Penal Code to increase criminal penalties for unauthorized entry, occupancy, sale, rental, or damage to real property, including dwellings. Penalties range from a Class C misdemeanor (for losses under $100) to a first-degree felony (for losses over $300,000), with specific higher penalties for damaging public infrastructure, livestock fencing, or interrupting essential services like water or power. The bill also clarifies what constitutes "notice" that entry is forbidden, such as posted signs, fencing, purple paint marks on trees, or visible crops. This affects property owners seeking to remove unauthorized occupants and individuals who trespass or cause property damage without permission.
