About this video
Almost every Texas crime requires the State to prove what was in your head. Penal Code § 6.03 defines the four culpable mental states — intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, and with criminal negligence — in descending order of blameworthiness. Brian Foley explains each one in ninety seconds and why the difference between "knowingly" and "recklessly" can be the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor.
