Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While written permission from the building owner and the landowners on either side of the structure may constitute a legal defense against arson charges in some states, it does not exempt an individual from arson charges under Texas law. In Texas, a person commits arson if they intentionally start a fire or cause an explosion that damages or destroys any property, including a building, without the effective consent of the owner.
