Welcome to Texas Criminal Defense Group San Angelo!

In San Angelo, Texas, solicitation is considered a serious criminal offense under the Texas Penal Code. Classified as a prostitution-related crime, solicitation involves offering or requesting sexual conduct in exchange for payment—even if no physical act or financial exchange actually takes place.

If you’ve been accused of solicitation in Tom Green County, it’s critical to act quickly. A qualified San Angelo solicitation defense attorney can help protect your rights, examine the circumstances of your arrest, and fight for the best possible outcome.

What is Solicitation Under Texas Law?

Under Section 43.021 of the Texas Penal Code, a person commits solicitation if they knowingly:

“Solicit another in a public place to engage with the person in sexual conduct for hire.”

In San Angelo, solicitation charges often result from police sting operations, especially in areas known for prior incidents or online encounters arranged through classified ads or social media. You do not need to exchange money or engage in physical contact to be arrested. Simply discussing or proposing an exchange can lead to criminal charges.

Penalties for Solicitation in San Angelo, TX

Solicitation is typically charged as a Class B misdemeanor for first-time offenders, which may result in:

However, repeat offenses bring much harsher consequences:

Even a misdemeanor conviction for solicitation can severely affect your reputation, employment opportunities, and future.

Defending Against Solicitation Charges in San Angelo

A skilled criminal defense lawyer in San Angelo can build a defense based on the unique details of your case. Potential defenses include:

Lack of Intent

If no true offer or agreement to exchange money for sexual activity occurred, your lawyer may argue that there was no intent to commit a crime.

Entrapment

Police frequently use undercover tactics to catch individuals in alleged acts of solicitation. If you were pressured, manipulated, or deceived by law enforcement into committing the offense, your attorney may argue entrapment—a valid legal defense in Texas.

Mistaken Identity or Misunderstanding

It’s possible that an innocent interaction was misinterpreted by police or recorded incorrectly. In some cases, two consenting adults may have engaged in private communication without any illegal intent.
