Texas law contains several statutes directed toward punishing organized criminal activity. One such statute creates a separate felony offense for individuals who work together to profit from a variety of serious felonies. This statute, titled "engaging in organized crime," focuses on "criminal combinations." Such a "criminal combination" requires:
A) consorted criminal activity for over one year conducted by five or more individuals in consort with each other.
B) two or more participants to gain at least a $100,000 benefit from the illicit activities.
C) at least three participants collaborating in the prohibited criminal activity.
