Prostitution involves performing sexual acts in exchange for money or other items of value. In Texas, others besides the one who actually performs the sex act can be charged as well.
These individuals could be guilty of solicitation of prostitution , which involves seeking out another person to perform sex for hire. Section On September 1, , Texas became the first state to make prostitution solicitation a felony. Prior to this law, soliciting a prostitution was a Class B misdemeanor. If the solicitation involves a minor, the felony becomes a second degree felony.
Attorney Matthew D. Being charged or accused of a crime is a frightening experience, especially when the allegation is false. I believe everyone deserves a second chance. My job is to defend YOU.
I believe clients should be 1. Read my testimonials to see what past clients have said. I needed legal representation immediately. It was an incredibly sensitive matter. Sharp met with me and provided exactly what we agreed upon. I was in a major bind and he proceeded to assure me that my situation was one that he would handle and keep my exposure at a minimum.
I was pleased with the final outcome that he negotiated for me. If you find yourself in need of an attorney, I highly recommend Matthew Sharp. Soliciting another to commit prostitution is now a felony under Texas law. The penalties for felony sex crimes are serious and they should be taken very seriously.
