Since it lists criminal mischief during the nighttime as well as theft during the nighttime as two separate things, I don't see "during the nighttime" applying to the rest of the passage. If your proposed construction were true, the first "during the nighttime" would be redundant.
I'll bet if you go to the Texas Penal Code, you'll find that those two things are distinct crimes.
