Unsure of the date of the Texas statute, but as a general rule you can expect that burglary of an inhabited dwelling will always be considered MORE serious than just plain lburglary of an unoccupied one.
It depends on what his priors are. Some States have the 3 strikes rule.

The verb form of burglary is "burglarize."
Burglary is the felony of breaking into and entering the house of another at night with intent to steal, extended by statute to cover the breaking into and entering of any of various buildings, by night or day. The criminal statutes concerning burglary differ somewhat from state to state. In some states remaining in a building or house without permission to commit a crime is also a burglary. In that situation, the entry can be legal and turns into a burglary if a crime is committed later. This covers the situation where a person stays in a store until after it closes and then steals items or commits some other crime. Burglary is the unlawful entrance to someones property and the removal of items not theirs, without permission of the owner. In some jurisdictions, that is different from breaking and entering, since in breaking and entering as defined in those jurisdictions, no other crime is committed. Burglary (also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking) is a crime, the essence of which is entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offence. Usually that offence will be theft, but most jurisdictions specify others which fall within the ambit of burglary.
