Interfering with railroad property is an offense which can be charged as a Class C misdemeanor, the least serious offense under Texas law, to a felony in the first degree, which is one of the state’s most serious crimes. The consequences of this offense are based on the amount of loss incurred by the conduct. Further, consequences can be dictated by the amount of injury a person sustains as a result of the railroad tampering. Conviction of a Class C misdemeanor can result in a fine up to $500. A felony in the first degree, on the other hand, calls for a minimum prison sentence of five years.
