We have served South Texas since 1999, and we know that there are two sides to every story. Our attorneys bring over 50 years of combined experience to your defense. We are here to listen to you without judgment, to protect your privacy and to fight for your rights.

Consequences Of A Sexual Assault Conviction

Texas law punishes sexual offenses severely. The legal penalties are harsh, but the personal consequences can destroy your life permanently.

This offense is typically a second-degree felony, carrying a potential sentence of two to 20 years in prison. If there are aggravating factors, such as the use of a weapon or if the victim is a child, it becomes a first-degree felony. This can result in five to 99 years of prison time.

Moreover, a conviction requires you to register as a sex offender, often for life. Your name, photograph, home address and workplace will be published on a public state database.

This status restricts where you can live, preventing you from residing near schools, parks or day cares. It can make finding employment or housing nearly impossible and subject you to social isolation forever.

How Dornburg Law Can Help

When the stakes are this high, you cannot afford a passive defense. We will provide a rigorous and aggressive strategy designed to dismantle the state’s case while keeping a low profile to protect your reputation.

  • Discreet representation: We understand the need for privacy. We will handle your case quietly to minimize public exposure and protect your family from scrutiny.
  • In-depth investigation: We do not accept police reports as fact. We will investigate thoroughly, looking for inconsistencies in witness statements and timelines. We will analyze text messages, social media history and other digital footprints that may support your side of the story.
  • The issue of consent: Many cases hinge on whether consent was given. We will work to establish the context of the encounter and ensure the jury understands the true dynamic between the parties involved.
  • Forensic analysis: We will challenge the physical evidence. If there are DNA or medical reports to get through, we will ensure that the courts will interpret them correctly.

Whether through negotiating a dismissal before trial or fighting for an acquittal in the courtroom, we are dedicated to preserving your freedom and your future.
