Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’m being investigated for a sex crime in Dallas?
Do not give a statement to police or CPS without a lawyer, even if you are innocent and want to explain. Save your texts, photos, and call logs, and avoid contact with the accuser. Then call a defense attorney before you are charged; early action can shape whether and how a case is filed.
What is the penalty for sexual assault in Texas?
Sexual assault under Penal Code §22.011 is usually a second-degree felony, punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Some circumstances raise it to a first-degree felony (5 to 99 years or life), and aggravated sexual assault carries higher minimums. A conviction also requires sex offender registration. Your defense starts with whether the State can prove every element, including lack of consent.
What is the difference between indecency with a child by contact and by exposure?
Under Penal Code §21.11, contact (sexual touching of a child under 17, including through clothing) is a second-degree felony, 2 to 20 years. Exposure is a third-degree felony, 2 to 10 years. Both can require sex offender registration, including after deferred adjudication. Negotiating to a non-registerable offense or challenging the outcry statement can change the outcome.
What happens if I’m charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child?
Penal Code §21.02 requires the State to prove two or more acts of sexual abuse over a period of 30 or more days against a child under 14. It is a first-degree felony with a minimum of 25 years and a maximum of 99 years or life. These cases often rest on testimony alone, so independent investigation and a careful review of forensic interviews matter.
How long do I have to save my license after a Dallas DWI arrest?
15 days. Texas DPS gives you 15 days from the date you are served with a notice of suspension to request an ALR hearing (20 days from the mailing date if you gave a blood specimen). Miss it and the suspension takes effect automatically. Calling a lawyer right after your arrest protects that window.
What are the penalties for a first DWI in Texas?
A first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor: 72 hours to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2,000, plus a possible license suspension. A BAC of 0.15 or higher makes it a Class A misdemeanor (up to 1 year and $4,000). A child passenger under 15 makes it a state jail felony. Breath tests, blood tests, and the traffic stop itself can all be challenged.
What areas do you serve in Dallas-Fort Worth?
We defend clients across the DFW Metro, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, Richardson, Grand Prairie, Carrollton, and Arlington, in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Kaufman, and Ellis counties.
