““The word ‘structure’ is often used in a broad sense, often in a restricted sense. The broad definition is that quoted in Favro v. State, 39 Tex.Cr.R. 452 , 46 S.W. 932 , 73 Am.St.Rep. 950 : ‘Any production or piece of work artifically built up, or composed of parts joined together in some definite manner; any construction.’ In a restricted sense ‘structure’ means: ‘A building of any kind, chiefly a building of some size or magnificence; an edifice’. 60 C.J. 666.” Stewart v. Welsh, 142 Tex. 314 , 178 S.W.2d 506 .”
