Graffiti

Section 28.08, Texas Penal Code, provides that “a person commits an offense if, without the effective consent of the owner, the person intentionally or knowingly makes markings, including inscriptions, slogans, drawings, or paintings, on the tangible property of the owner with paint, an indelible marker, or an etching or engraving device.” An offense under this section may be a state jail felony if the marking is made on an institution of higher education.
