What the State Must Prove

Prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a specific act occurred, the person accused is the one who did it, and that the law’s age/condition requirements apply. Many cases turn on credibility, identification, timelines, device data, and forensic handling—all areas we rigorously test.

Defense Approaches We Consider

Challenging ID and credibility when accounts conflict or motives exist.
Forensic scrutiny (collection methods, chain of custody, lab errors).
Fourth/Fifth Amendment issues (illegal searches, improper interviews).
Charge reduction/dismissal pathways when weaknesses emerge.

Penalties & Registration (Know the Stakes)

Texas treats these charges severely. Depending on the statute and facts, exposure can range from 2–20 years to 25-to-life, and many convictions require lifetime registration. Understanding which statute truly fits your facts is critical to outcomes.

Fees & Payment Options

Quality defense should be accessible. We offer transparent flat-fee stages and payment plans. You’ll know costs up front (outside expert/lab fees discussed before engagement).

FAQs

Will I have to register?
Many convictions require lifetime registration. Our goal is to fight the charge, the statute applied, or the finding that triggers registration.
Is probation possible?
For several “3G” offenses, jury-recommended probation isn’t available. Options depend on the exact charge, facts, and strategy we can pursue.
There’s no physical evidence—does that matter?
Yes. Many cases turn on credibility and consistency. We examine statements, timelines, devices, and corroboration.
What if this is years old?
Some serious charges have no statute of limitations. We evaluate evidence age, witness memory, and preservation issues.
What should I do right now?
Do NOT discuss the case with anyone but your lawyer. Avoid social media. Call 713-227-0087 and preserve potential evidence (texts, locations, messages).
