How does the Texas Penal Code define "bodily injury"?

physical pain, illness or any impairment of physical condition.
Substantial risk of death, disfigurement, impairment
Substantial risk of death, disfigurement, impairment
a firearm or anything manifestly designed for death

The correct answer is: physical pain, illness or any impairment of physical condition.

The correct definition of "bodily injury" according to the Texas Penal Code is physical pain, illness, or any impairment of physical condition. This definition encompasses a broad range of harm caused to a person, including physical pain and any adverse effect on their physical well-being. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the definition of bodily injury under the Texas Penal Code. Option B refers to a substantial risk of death, disfigurement, or impairment, which is not the same as actual bodily injury. Option D mentions a firearm or something designed for death, which is not a definition of bodily injury but rather items or tools that can cause harm. The key is to focus on the specific wording and definition provided in the Texas Penal Code to determine the correct answer.
