What Is Considered a Sex Crime in Texas?
Sex crimes are some of the most serious criminal offenses in the state of Texas. A conviction for a sex crime can result in life-altering consequences. You may be required to register as a sex offender, lose your ability to work with children, and be prohibited from living near places where children congregate. You may also be required to forfeit your right to vote and own firearms. If you have been charged with a sex crime, you must retain legal representation immediately.
Many types of crimes can be considered sex crimes. Sexual assault, sexual abuse, and aggravated sexual assault are all types of sex crimes.
Other sex crimes include:

Penalties for Sex Crimes in Texas
The penalties for sex crimes in Texas are severe and can vary widely depending on the nature and circumstances of the offense.

Case Dismissed Theft Conviction
We recently represented 2 clients who were accused of theft. These clients were not citizens, so they could not accept a theft conviction. As a result, we were able to negotiate a deal for them to complete some upfront conditions in order to get their cases dismissed. We negotiated this deal before we were even set for our first court date. Their cases were dismissed.
