9-7.Types of Crimes.In Texas, Chigger Ridge Ranch, L.P., operated a 700-acre commercial hunting area called Coyote Crossing Ranch (CCR). Chigger Ridge leased CCR and its assets for twelve months to George Briscoe's company, VPW Management, LLC. The lease identified all of the vehicles and equipment that belonged to Chigger Ridge, which VPW could use in the course of business, but the lease did not convey any ownership interest. During the lease term, however, Briscoe told his employees to sell some of the vehicles and equipment. Briscoe did nothing to correct the buyers' false impression that he owned the property and was authorized to sell it. The buyers paid with checks, which were deposited into an account to which only Briscoe and his spouse had access. Which crime, if any, did Briscoe commit? Explain. [Briscoe v. State of Texas, 542 S.W.3d 100 (Tex.App.Texarkana 2018)] (SeeTypes of Crimes.)
