Yes, and I believe everywhere else in the United States, as it should be. But, in my opinion, you should look at these so called "threats" first. Some are simply comments made out of anger, some are poor versions of threats and some really, in my opinion, completely are not, but are prosecuted anyway. I have been stated to have made threats when it was only a notification of a problem and the fact that now they are aware of the situation and I would sue if damages incurred after that. Hows THAT a threat? Its not, but I was still accused. By them, not the authorities. But my point here, is these threats have to be real and actual, not some diluted version of a threat as putting someone through the criminal justice system for something not realy serious is a crime in itself.
Another View: Verbal threats alone, unaccompanied by any means or method to carry them out, as unpleasant as they may be, are constitutionally protected free speech. However - they may not rise to the point of harrassment, or that is a violation of a different statute.
Yes!! Its a "forcible felony" which is considered a very violent crime!!
It needs to be.
no
It depends on the type of threat If the threat was verbal, it would be neither misdemeanor of felony If the threat was physical, it would be a misdemeanor
In the state of Texas, terroristic threat is the offense involving violence to any person or property with intent to place any person in fear of imminent serious bodily injury. Aggravated assault is when a person causes serious bodily injury to another or uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault.Texas Penal Code Sec 22.02 Aggravated AssaultTexas Penal Code Sec 22.07 Terroristic Threat
It is a felony.
"Any armed robbery is a felony." by a previous contributor.....Added note:Strong arm robbery is a violent threat or use of physical violence to purport a robbery without use of a weapon or object.For that reason, it may or may not be considered a felony charge dependent on circumstantial or eye witness testimony. or evidence. The "threat" of a strong arm robbery in most cases is not considered a felony. It is lesser and considered intimidation in some points, harassment in others, or if a verbal threat is made of bodily harm with a weapon, and said weapon is within the immediate access, it is considered terroristic threat in some states.So that advice is partially or mostly incorrect , as "strong arm robbery" is not ARMED robbery.
The charge for knowledge of a possible bomb threat is probably accessory or accomplice to all crimes committed by the bomber, including murder and terroristic acts.
