§ 20.30 Geographical jurisdiction of offenses; effect of laws of other

jurisdictions upon this state's jurisdiction.

1. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 20.20, the courts of

this state do not have jurisdiction to convict a person of an alleged

offense partly committed within this state but consummated in another

jurisdiction, or an offense of criminal solicitation, conspiracy or

attempt in this state to commit a crime in another jurisdiction, or an

offense of criminal facilitation in this state of a felony committed in

another jurisdiction, unless the conduct constituting the consummated

offense or, as the case may be, the conduct constituting the crime

solicited, conspiratorially contemplated or facilitated, constitutes an

offense under the laws of such other jurisdiction as well as under the

laws of this state.

2. The courts of this state are not deprived of the jurisdiction

accorded them by section 20.20 to convict a person of an offense defined

by the laws of this state, partly committed in another jurisdiction but

consummated in this state, or an offense of attempt or conspiracy in

another jurisdiction to commit in this state a crime defined by the laws

of this state, by the circumstance that the conduct constituting the

consummated offense or, as the case may be, the crime attempted or

conspiratorially contemplated, does not constitute an offense under the

laws of such other jurisdiction.
