In many cases, the intended crime must be a felony to be within the definition of burglary. An example modern burglary statute (Texas) can be found here: https://casetext.com/statute/texas-codes/penal-code/title-7-offenses-against-property/chapter-30-burglary-and-criminal-trespass/section-3002-burglary#:~:text=Section%2030.02%20%2D%20Burglary%20(a),%2C%20theft%2C%20or%20an%20assault.
