Question: 1 / 400

Which action constitutes Disorderly Conduct in a public place?

Displaying an offensive gesture

Displaying an offensive gesture in a public place constitutes Disorderly Conduct under the Texas Penal Code. This action is specifically mentioned in Section 42.01(a)(4) as behavior that can be considered offensive or provocative enough to disturb the peace in a public setting. Engaging in prostitution is addressed under different provisions of the Penal Code related to prostitution offenses, not Disorderly Conduct. Initiating communication by telephone and looking into a dwelling through a window without permission do not directly fall under Disorderly Conduct in a public place as defined in the Texas Penal Code.
