Years of Legal Experience

Sex crimes are a broad category of state crimes ranging from indecent exposure to aggravated sexual assault of a child. Offenses in this category range from a Class B Misdemeanor to a First Degree Felony, with punishments from 6 months probation to life in prison.

These crimes are very serious not only due to the potential for a harsh punishment, but also due to the stigma that society places on those convicted or even charged with sex crimes. Sex crime allegations are not likely to go away without a fight as the victims involved, and the State’s poor view on these crimes, make it likely that the State will want to pursue a conviction. You need to hire a Houston Sex Crimes Lawyer with experience in handling sex crime cases to ensure a just result.

Registration as a Sex Offender

Sex crimes carry two separate components that are concerning to defense attorneys. The first is obvious, the potential for conviction and the harsh punishments that can follow. The second is the threat that you will have to register as a sex offender in Texas for years to come. Many times this is one of the biggest issues in a sex crimes case. Sex Offender Registration adds another wrinkle to the criminal case that a sex crimes lawyer must navigate. These looming issues make it important that you hire a competent legal team to devise your defense against the criminal charges. You will need a qualified and experienced Houston sex crimes lawyer.
