OUR SEX CRIME PRACTICE AREA

Most of these offenses are viewed as felonies under Texas Penal Code Title 5 Chapter 21 Sexual Offenses. Penalties will depend on the nature of the crime with attention paid to actual physical harm caused to alleged victims, whether deadly weapons were used, whether the alleged victims were minors, the elderly, or the disabled, prior convictions, if any, and other factors that may aggravate or mitigate the offense.
These are commonly highly complex and sensitive matters that may require the third-party evaluations of other investigators, mental health specialists, and additional professionals. Unfortunately, false allegations are often made against defendants with motivations based on revenge, spite, jealousy, or malice. These commonly occur in cases where alleged victims seek to gain some advantage, whether legal or otherwise, over the accused, such as in cases involving the breakdown of intimate relationships, battles over child custody, or other situations.
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION IN TEXAS
Mandatory sex offender registration is a common penalty for sex crime convictions. This registration program is established under Texas Code Title 1 Chapter 62. This involves your personal information being exposed online for public access that includes your identity and more.
Sex offender registration can result in years or a lifetime of restrictions as to where you can live and work as well as a heavy social stigma and ostracism that can majorly impact your future. Many adults convicted of sex offenses must register for life while juvenile offenders must register for up to 10 years. Failure to register is its own separate felony.
