    SECTION 20.10

    Criminal liability for conduct of another; exemption

    Penal (PEN) CHAPTER 40, PART 1, TITLE B, ARTICLE 20

    § 20.10 Criminal liability for conduct of another; exemption.

    Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 20.00 and 20.05, a person
    is not criminally liable for conduct of another person constituting an
    offense when his own conduct, though causing or aiding the commission of
    such offense, is of a kind that is necessarily incidental thereto. If
    such conduct constitutes a related but separate offense upon the part of
    the actor, he is liable for that offense only and not for the conduct or
    offense committed by the other person.
