Is suicide a crime?
If you commit suicide it can't be a crime. If you attempt it in the United States it is still not a crime. India and Singapore are the only countries that I know punish for attempted suicide by 1 to 5 years in prison. It could technically be counted as a crime; however, there is no punishment conceivable for someone who has committed suicide, as they are already dead and therefore cannot feel or care about anything (unless they are watching somehow from heaven).

Penalty for attempting to commit suicide in tx?
There is no law stating that suicide is illegal. Aiding suicide is illegal. If someone attempts suicide a judge can deem someone "crazy", and force them in to a psych ward. This is because it is reasonable to assume that someone that attempts suicide is not mentally stable. But there will be no criminal charge (unless a crime was broken during the suicide, like possession of a controlled substance when someone tries to OD).

No it is not illegal to commit suicide...because you can not arrest a dead person and put them on trial for a crime..

Laughing inappropriately is often a sign of defense or compensation.
