Welcome to Texas Criminal Defense Group Denton!

In the state of Texas, prostitution is a criminal offense—and Denton is no exception. According to the Texas Penal Code, a person may be charged with prostitution if they knowingly offer, agree to, or engage in sexual conduct in exchange for payment. Notably, an actual exchange of money or physical contact doesn’t have to occur for charges to be filed. Even the agreement alone may be enough to justify an arrest.

If you’ve been accused of prostitution in Denton, it’s essential to understand the seriousness of the charge and to speak with an experienced Denton prostitution defense lawyer right away. A local attorney can protect your rights, challenge the prosecution’s case, and guide you through every step of the legal process.

Penalties for Prostitution in Texas

A first-time prostitution charge is typically classified as a Class B misdemeanor, which carries:

However, the penalties become more severe with prior convictions. For example:

In addition, certain prostitution-related offenses, such as aggravated promotion of prostitution (often referred to as pimping) or compelling prostitution, can result in second- or third-degree felony charges—with prison sentences of up to 20 years.

Given these steep consequences, it’s critical to consult with a criminal defense attorney in Denton who is experienced with prostitution laws and local court procedures.

Legal Defenses to Prostitution Charges in Denton

Several defenses may apply in a prostitution case, depending on the circumstances of your arrest. A skilled Denton defense attorney will review your case thoroughly and may raise arguments such as:

Entrapment
If you were arrested during a police sting or undercover operation, your attorney may argue that you were enticed or pressured by law enforcement into committing an act you would not have otherwise considered. Entrapment is a valid defense if it can be shown that the government created the criminal intent, rather than you.

Lack of Intent or Misunderstanding
In some cases, the encounter may have been consensual, with no discussion or intent of financial exchange. If no agreement or payment was made, your attorney may argue that no crime occurred.

Duress or Coercion
If someone forced or coerced you into engaging in prostitution against your will, that can serve as a powerful defense. Your lawyer can help present evidence that you acted under extreme pressure or threat.
