AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Why You Need a Dallas Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

When you’re charged with a sex crime in Dallas, you’re up against aggressive prosecutors, harsh sentencing laws, and overwhelming social stigma. Trying to handle this alone can lead to life-altering consequences—and while public defenders are available, their caseload prevents them from creating a strong, strategic defense.

Many Texas sex crime charges carry mandatory prison time and sex offender registration. The law also allows for enhancements that can turn a second-degree felony into a first-degree offense based on age, relationship, or allegations of force. In some cases, prosecutors may add charges based on digital evidence, multiple accusers, or past allegations—even without a conviction.

Police and prosecutors are trained to build a case against you. They may try to get you to talk or consent to a search. One wrong move early in the process can jeopardize your entire case.

A skilled sex crimes attorney from My Dallas Criminal Lawyer can:

  • Intervene before charges are filed
  • Protect your rights during investigation and questioning
  • Review evidence for errors or constitutional violations
  • Challenge unlawful searches or seizures
  • Negotiate to reduce or dismiss charges whenever possible
  • Prepare a strong defense for trial, if needed

Conviction can lead to sex offender registration. Registration can last for life and severely limits where you can live, work, or travel. Even a mere accusation, if mishandled, can follow you forever.

Don’t take any chances with your future and reputation. You need a defense lawyer who understands how to navigate Texas sex crime laws and the local Dallas court system.

Types of Dallas Sex Crime Offenses We Handle

My Dallas Criminal Lawyer defends clients against a wide range of sex crime allegations. Our team builds an aggressive defense strategy for every charge, including:

Sexual
Assault

Sexual assault involves non-consensual sexual contact or penetration. This charge can apply even when the alleged victim is not physically injured. Conviction is a second-degree felony, with a penalty of two to 20 years in prison and mandatory sex offender registration.

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Aggravated sexual assault involves additional elements such as the use of a deadly weapon, causing serious bodily injury, or targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s a first-degree felony, punishable by five to 99 years or life in prison.

Sexual Assault of a
Child

This offense applies when the alleged victim is under 17 years old, regardless of consent. Prosecutors do not have to prove force or threats. It is a second-degree felony and often includes lifelong sex offender registration.

Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child

This charge includes aggravating factors like the child being under the age of 14, the use of violence, or the presence of multiple victims. It is a first-degree felony and may carry enhanced penalties, including a minimum sentence of 25 years for certain circumstances like assault of a child under age six.

Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child

This charge applies when someone is accused of committing two or more acts of sexual abuse against a child under 14 over a period of 30 days or more. It’s a first-degree felony with a minimum sentence of 25 years and no possibility of parole.

Indecency with a
Child

This offense covers sexual contact or exposure directed at a child under 17. Even non-physical conduct can result in charges. It is typically a second- or third-degree felony, depending on the alleged behavior.

Indecent
Assault

Indecent assault includes unwanted sexual contact, such as causing contact with bodily fluids or groping intimate body parts for sexual gratification. It is a Class A misdemeanor but may be enhanced for repeat offenses or if the victim was drugged.

Online Solicitation of a
Minor

This offense covers electronic communication with a minor for sexual purposes, including requesting explicit photos or arranging a meeting. It is generally a third-degree felony but can rise to a second-degree felony if the child is under 14.

Possession of Child
Pornography

Possessing, accessing, or promoting images or videos of minors engaged in sexual conduct is a third- or second-degree felony. Each image may be charged separately, which can lead to decades of incarceration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Violence

If you’ve been accused of a sex crime in Dallas or the surrounding areas, you likely have plenty of questions. Here are some of the most common questions we receive:

Do not talk to police or investigators without legal representation. Anything you say can and will be used against you—even innocent statements or explanations. Contact My Dallas Criminal Lawyer immediately at 214-764-5535 to protect your rights and begin building your defense.
Yes. In many sex crime cases—particularly those involving minors—consent may not be a valid legal defense. For example, a person under 17 cannot legally consent to sex in Texas, regardless of what they said or did.
Penalties vary depending on the charge but can include lengthy prison sentences, steep fines, and mandatory sex offender registration. Some convictions also carry a lifetime registration requirement. All of these penalties can severely impact your personal and professional life.
Most sex crime convictions in Texas require registration as a sex offender. The duration depends on the specific charge. Registration affects where you can live, work, and travel. Noncompliance is a separate criminal offense. It’s important to speak to a skilled Dallas sex crimes attorney to learn about your rights and responsibilities.

False accusations do occur. We conduct a thorough investigation to uncover inconsistencies, false motives, or lack of evidence. My Dallas Criminal Lawyer fights aggressively to protect your future and reputation.

Expungement or sealing (non-disclosure) of sex crime charges is extremely limited in Texas. State law prohibits sealing any charge that requires sex offender registration. However, if your case was dismissed, no-billed by a grand jury, or you are acquitted at trial, you will qualify for expungement. My Dallas Criminal Lawyer can review your case and help you explore every available option.
