About this video
Chapter 1 is the foundation of the Texas Penal Code. Brian Foley walks through § 1.02 (objectives of the Code), § 1.03 (effect of the Code), § 1.04 (territorial jurisdiction), § 1.05 (construction), § 1.06 (computation of age), § 1.07 (the definitions that appear throughout the Code), and §§ 1.08–1.10 — and explains why a defense lawyer reads Chapter 1 first when analyzing an unusual charge.
