Common Types of Sex Crimes

Texas Law on Sex Crimes: Understanding Your Rights

Indecent Exposure in Texas – exposing yourself with an intent to arouse or gratify sexual desires in a way that is reckless about whether another person might be offended
Public Lewdness in Texas – knowingly engaging in sexual conduct or intercourse in a public place
Child Pornography Laws in Texas – knowingly or intentionally possessing visual material of a minor engaged in sexual conduct
Understanding Sexual Assault (Rape) in Texas – knowingly or intentionally engaging in sexual conduct without the other person’s consent
Distributing Harmful Material to a Minor in Texas – selling, distributing, or displaying sexually explicit material to a minor
Prostitution Charges in Texas – engaging in sexual conduct for a fee or publicly soliciting sexual conduct for a fee

What Is Sexual Assault in Texas?

Sexual assault, or rape, occurs when a person engages in sexual conduct with someone without their consent. This might mean the alleged victim was threatened by physical violence so that they would submit to the offender, or it could mean that the alleged victim was unable to resist or understand what was happening physically. In other words, the absence of verbal consent constitutes a lack of support for a sexual assault claim.

Consent is also lacking when the defendant is in a place of authority or responsible for caring for the alleged victim, such as if the offender is a healthcare provider, public servant, clergy member, or employee of a residential facility.

What Constitutes Aggravated Sexual Assault in Texas?

If any of the following apply, the crime of sexual assault may rise to the level of aggravated sexual assault:

the offender caused serious bodily injury or attempted to cause the death of the alleged victim;
the defendant placed the alleged victim in fear of death, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping;
the offense involved the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon;
the defendant acted with another to commit the crime;
the offense involved the use of a “date rape drug”;
the alleged victim is younger than 14 years old;
the alleged victim is elderly or disabled.

Sexual assault is typically charged as a second-degree felony punishable by 2-20 years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. The offense rises to a first-degree felony punishable by 5-99 years in state prison and $10,000 in fines if the offender and alleged victim are married partners. Aggravated sexual assault is also a first-degree felony, with the minimum prison sentence enhanced to 25 years.

Adult offenders will be charged with statutory rape if the alleged victim is younger than 17 years old. Statutory rape is a second-degree felony unless the minor is younger than 14 years old, in which case the offense is a first-degree felony.

Understanding Sex Offender Registration in Texas

Beyond jail time and fines, convicted sex offenders will also be required to endure the long-term penalty of sex offender registration. Offenders will be assigned one of three risk levels, depending on their dangerousness to the community:

Low Risk – unlikely to commit a sexual crime
Moderate Risk – may continue to commit sex crimes
High Risk – pose a threat to commit a sexual offense

Offenders will either be required to register for life or ten years. Sex crimes that warrant lifetime registration include sexual assault, child pornography, sexual abuse of a child, human trafficking, incest, and other sexual crimes against minors. Sex crimes requiring ten years of registration include indecent exposure (first offense), bestiality, prostitution, and soliciting a minor online.

"You gave me another chance"
Hey Mr. Andreski, just wanted to reach out and let you know I’m headed to go serve those 5 days. I also want to thank you more then you’ll ever know for everything you did. I know i was just court appointed, but that’s not how you made it feel. You gave me another chance and I have, and will continue too work hard to not waste it.
This go around really pushed me to want and do better and change and get away from a life that was leading me to a long life of struggle and pain and hurt. I hope to some day somewhere to repay you somehow. I have big plans and am going to do great things with this, yet another, chance I am blessed with. Once again Mr. Andreski, thank you from the bottom of my heart

"He genuinely cared about my situation and made me feel like I was still a worthy person."
I hired Donnie for a misdemeanor theft case. It was a one-time mistake, one I regret deeply. I could not express that enough to Donnie, which he believed. Donnie, along with the rest of the staff, genuinely cared about my situation and made me feel like I was still a worthy person who simply made a bad decision. He was available to me at any time of the day, he would even take the time out of his personal life to respond to me on the weekends. The patience he demonstrated with me was absolutely incredible, especially seeing as though I was frequently contacting him in regards to the situation. He always knew how to calm me down. He provided me with realistic expectations and worked tirelessly at getting me the best deal possible. He is a former police officer, and I believe that experience, along with his long experience as a lawyer, makes him the best at representing someone in need of representation. I am extremely satisfied with the results he achieved for me, and believe that he is not just one of the best lawyers out there, but THE best. I understand how scary it is to be in legal trouble, and the best thing you can do for yourself is to hire Donnie Andreski as your lawyer. He’ll help you through it, and you’ll come out on the other side a better person.

"He was extremely prepared for court. He was professional, yet firm."
I was stopped for speeding but the situation turned into a DWI quickly. I was arrested and jailed on that eventful night. Mr. Andreski took a strong interest in my case including my ideas and opinions. I did not want to settle and he supported me 100%. He was extremely prepared for court, he was professional yet firm with the prosecution's witness. I would use him again and strongly recommend him to anyone that needs a good defense attorney.
