    Default Would This Satisfy the Actus Reus Requirement of an Accomplice to Burglary Charge

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
    If you were to drive a burglar to a pawnshop where he pawned some stuff he had previously stolen, but you otherwise had nothing to do with the burglary and proceeded to drop him off at a location unrelated to the burglary, would that action satisfy the actus reus requirement for an accomplice to burglary charge?

    Did you know what you were doing (i.e., that you were driving him for the facilitation of the crime), if so, it's quite possible you would be considered an accomplice.
    At the minimum, you're guilty of the theft statutes for moving around the stolen property even if you didn't participate in the actual burglary.
