It is an offense under Transportation Code § 550.022. It is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500 if the total damage to all vehicles is less than $200 (hardly likely to have this little damage at this day and time). It is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $2,000 and or confinement in jail for up to 180 days if the total damage to all vehicles is $200 or more.
