In Texas, murder is elevated to a capital offense when the murder occurs under specific circumstances. One of these is when the killing occurs during the commission or attempt of kidnapping, burglary, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction or retaliation or terroristic threat.
Also, a person who intentionally or knowingly kills more than one individual during a single course of criminal conduct will be charged with capital murder, which carries a penalty of life in prison without parole or the death penalty. In Texas, the jury must decide two special issues in a death penalty case, which are whether the defendant is a future danger and if there are mitigating factors that would make a life sentence more appropriate.
