Common law and some jurisdictions require burglary to occur at night which I thought was interesting. In many cases, the intended crime must be a felony to be within the definition of burglary.

An example modern burglary statute (Texas) can be found here:

For Texas, the perp must intend a felony, theft, or assault (a lesser included offensive of battery, so no saying I intended battery not assault).
