Understanding Texas Sex Crime Laws and Penalties

Texas is a particularly aggressive state when it comes to punishing sex crimes, especially in cases where a minor has been involved. Sex crimes cover a wide range of offenses, but they generally occur when the alleged victim has been made to engage in sexual activity without consent. Under Texas law, anyone under the age of 17 is considered a child and therefore unable to give consent. Others who are unable to give consent are those unable to physically resist or understand the nature of the act as well as individuals under the charge or power of the defendant. Sports doctors, other health care providers, clergymen, and similar personnel would fall under the latter category.

Sex crimes can include:

  • Sexual assault (also known as rape)
  • Aggravated sexual assault
  • Child pornography
  • Indecent exposure
  • Indecent contact with a child
  • Solicitation of a minor
  • Sexual abuse
  • Prostitution
  • Registered sex offender violations

Aside from the penalties of incarceration, fines, and probation, many sex offenses result in mandatory registration as a sex offender. In Texas, both adults and juveniles who have committed certain sex offenses must register for either 10 years or for life, depending on the case. This limits where you can live and work, and it gives the public access to your crime, residence, and identity.
