What does the Texas Penal Code consider a "deadly weapon" to be?

  1. Substantial risk of death, disfigurement, impairment

  2. a firearm or anything manifestly designed, made or adapted for death

  3. physical pain, illness or any impairment of physical condition.

  4. Punishable by fine or confinement

The correct answer is: a firearm or anything manifestly designed, made or adapted for death

The Texas Penal Code considers a "deadly weapon" to be anything manifestly designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting death. This definition includes not only firearms but also any object that is clearly intended to cause fatal harm. Options A, C, and D do not accurately capture the specific definition of a deadly weapon under the Texas Penal Code, making the correct answer B.
