Avoid registration as a sex offender

🔍 Common Sex Crimes We Defend
Misdemeanor Sex Offenses
-
Public Lewdness: Often involves consensual acts in a public space (e.g., back seat of a car). Does not require registration. May be sealed.
-
Indecent Exposure: First offense may not trigger registration; a second one might. Still damaging to your record.
→ If you already have a misdemeanor sex offense, learn how to seal or expunge your record.
Felony Sex Offenses
-
Indecency with a Child: Contact or exposure involving someone under 17. A second- or third-degree felony (2–20 years). Usually requires lifetime registration.
-
Sexual Assault: Forcible sexual acts. Second-degree felony (2–20 years).
-
Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child (<14): First-degree felony (5–99 years or life). Mandatory registration.
-
Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child: Minimum sentence of 25 years with no probation allowed.
These cases are complex and emotionally charged. You need an attorney with extensive experience and proven success in these matters.
📋 Understanding Sex Offender Registration in Texas
Depending on the offense, registration may be required for 10 years, life, or not at all. Registration involves:
-
Listing your name and address online
-
Restrictions on living near schools or parks
-
Regular check-ins with law enforcement
⚖️ Federal law may allow termination of lifetime registration after 15 years in limited cases. Ask us if you qualify.
❗ What to Do If You're Charged or Arrested
-
Call an attorney immediately.
-
Do not speak with law enforcement or anyone else about the case.
-
Don't email or text case facts—even to us.
Even a trusted friend could be subpoenaed to testify. Limit all communication to your lawyer.
