Texas Penal Code Practice

What action constitutes taking a child out of a specific geographic area without court permission with the intent to deprive the court of authority over the child?

1. Violation of Protection Order

2. Interference with Child Custody

3. Aiding Suicide

4. Robbery

The correct answer is: Interference with Child Custody

Interference with Child Custody is the correct answer. This offense occurs when a person takes a child out of a specific geographic area without court permission and with the intent to deprive the court of authority over the child. It involves interfering with the parent-child relationship or violating a court order regarding child custody. A. Violation of Protection Order is incorrect because it involves violating a protective order issued by the court to protect a victim of family violence, not specifically related to child custody matters. C. Aiding Suicide is incorrect because it involves assisting another person in committing suicide, which is a completely different offense unrelated to child custody. D. Robbery is incorrect because it involves taking someone else's property through the use of force or threat, which is not related to the context of the question about child custody.
