Welcome to Texas Criminal Defense Group Austin!

In Austin, Texas, prostitution is classified as a criminal offense under the Texas Penal Code. Individuals may face charges if they knowingly offer, agree to, or engage in sexual conduct for a fee. Importantly, an actual exchange of money or physical contact is not required for an arrest; even the mere agreement can suffice.

If you are facing prostitution charges in Austin, it’s crucial to comprehend the severity of the situation and seek counsel from an experienced Austin prostitution defense attorney. A local attorney can safeguard your rights, challenge the prosecution’s evidence, and navigate you through the legal proceedings.
