SECTION  11.46.200.   Theft of services.

    (a) A person commits theft of services if

   (1) the person obtains services, known by that person to be
available only for compensation, by deception, force, threat, or
other means to avoid payment for the services;

   (2) having control over the disposition of services of others to
which the person is not entitled, the person knowingly diverts
those services to the person's own benefit or to the benefit of
another not entitled to them; or
   (3) the person obtains the use of computer time, a computer
system, a computer program, a computer network, or any part of a
computer system or network, with reckless disregard that the use by
that person is unauthorized.
   (b) Absconding without paying for hotel, restaurant, or other
services for which compensation is customarily paid immediately
upon the receiving of them is prima facie evidence that the
services were obtained by deception.
   (c) A person may not be prosecuted under this section for theft
of cable, microwave, subscription, or pay television or other
telecommunications service if the service was obtained through the
use of a device designed and used to intercept electromagnetic
signals directly from a satellite, including a device commonly
referred to as a home earth station. (@ 4 ch 166 SLA 1978; am @ 1
