Texas Child Pornography Defense Lawyers

Defending your rights against child pornography charges in Texas

Have you been arrested for possession of child pornography? Has local law enforcement or a federal agent contacted you about an investigation into your online activities? Whether you made a mistake or someone else did, you must face certain facts immediately:

• Simply having or viewing certain types of sexual images violates both Texas and federal laws.
• The case against you could be brought in either a state court or U.S. district court.
• Penalties can include a prison sentence of ten years or more and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
• Simply being accused of a sex offense can adversely impact your career and reputation in profound ways.
• Under a recently passed federal law, you could be ordered to pay restitution to a child whose image was exploited.

Police, state law enforcement and federal agencies including the FBI now pursue child pornography cases aggressively. Internet sting operations are common. Authorities take tips from co-workers, estranged family members and others seriously. You must act quickly to protect your rights and future.
