Discreet, Aggressive Defense for Sex Crime Allegations in East Texas
An accusation can destroy your life before you ever step foot in court. We provide the urgent, expert defense you need to protect your name and your future.
Your Reputation and Freedom are on the Line
Being accused of a sex crime is a terrifying and isolating experience. In today's climate, an allegation alone is often treated as a conviction in the court of public opinion. You need an attorney who understands the stakes, who will handle your case with absolute discretion, and who has the trial experience to fight back against a system that is often stacked against the accused. From the moment we take your case, we begin working to protect your rights, challenge the prosecution's narrative, and fight for the best possible outcome.
Understanding Sex Crime Charges in Texas
Sex crime cases are complex and carry some of the most severe penalties under Texas law. We have the experience to defend against all types of allegations, including:
Sexual Assault & Aggravated Sexual Assault
Often referred to as rape, these charges involve non-consensual sexual contact. The "aggravated" charge typically involves a weapon, threats of violence, or an alleged victim who is a minor or elderly.
Indecency with a Child / Sexual Abuse of a Child
These are among the most aggressively prosecuted crimes in East Texas. They involve any sexual contact or exposure with a minor and carry devastating penalties.
Possession or Promotion of Child Pornography
With the rise of the internet, these charges are increasingly common. We investigate the digital evidence, how it was obtained by law enforcement, and who actually had access to the device in question.
Online Solicitation of a Minor
Often the result of internet sting operations, these cases require a deep understanding of digital forensics and the legal concept of entrapment.
The Lifelong Consequence: Sex Offender Registration
Beyond prison time and fines, a conviction for most sex offenses carries a mandatory, lifelong requirement to register as a sex offender. This is not just a list; it is a public scarlet letter. It restricts where you can live, where you can work, and follows you for the rest of your life. Our primary goal in every sex crime case is to avoid a conviction that requires registration.
Our Defense Strategy: A Proactive and Meticulous Approach
In sex crime cases, the defense must be proactive. We cannot wait for the prosecution to build their case; we must build our own. We hire private investigators, interview witnesses, and scrutinize every piece of evidence to find the truth.
Challenging the Accuser's Credibility
Often, these cases come down to one person's word against another's. We conduct a thorough investigation into the accuser's background, motives, and any inconsistencies in their story to expose false allegations or ulterior motives.
Exposing Flawed Investigations
Police are under immense pressure to make an arrest in these cases and often conduct biased interviews or fail to investigate other potential suspects. We expose these procedural errors to the court.
Attacking Forensic and Digital Evidence
The state may rely on DNA, medical exams, or computer evidence. We work with our own experts to challenge the collection methods, the chain of custody, and the interpretation of this so-called "scientific" evidence.
Arguing Consent
In cases involving adults, the central issue is often consent. We meticulously gather evidence, such as text messages, emails, and witness testimony, to demonstrate that the encounter was consensual and that the accusation arose later due to regret or malice.
