§ 1.018. Culpable mental states for ordinance violations.

(a)

If the definition of a violation of this Code does not prescribe a culpable mental state, a culpable mental state is nevertheless required unless the definition plainly dispenses with the need for a culpable mental state.

(b)

If the definition of a violation of this Code does not prescribe a culpable mental state, and does not plainly dispense with the need for a culpable mental state, then intent, knowledge or recklessness suffices to establish criminal responsibility for the violation.

(c)

Culpable mental states are defined in V.T.C.A., Penal Code § 6.03, as amended.
