Under Texas Law are you risking a stolen vehicle charge by running from the repo man and avoiding bank?

Under Texas Law, it is an offense to intentionally and knowingly take and use another person's vehicle without their consent, with the intent to deprive the owner of their property.

Depending on the circumstances, running from the repo man and/or avoiding the bank may be a type of unauthorized use that leads to a stolen vehicle charge. Additionally, Texas Penal Code §38.04 may apply when taking possession or moving a vehicle without effective permission from the owner, whether they are a lender or have another interest in the property.

When in doubt, it is always best to consult a legal professional for guidance specific to your situation.
