If you were charged with a sex crime in San Marcos, you may feel like your life is over. Your career, family, and reputation are at risk. Never think about facing the prosecutor alone to fight a Texas sex crime charge. You need an outstanding sex crime lawyer to help you fight one or more of these sex crime charges:
Some of these charges are misdemeanors, but some can be upgraded to a felony if you have a previous criminal history and convictions.
Penalties for a sex crime conviction depend on how severe the charges are. For example, an indecent exposure conviction is a Class B misdemeanor. You can get up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine. Indecency with a child under 17 is a third-degree felony that can get up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Also, you will have to register on the state sex crimes registry, which can be checked by employers and people who live in your area. Imagine everyone around you knowing you are a convicted sex criminal. This can ruin your life, so it’s vital to fight the charge with an experienced sex crimes lawyer.
Being convicted of a Texas sex crime and going to jail is bad enough. But when you get out, you will probably have to put yourself on the sex offender registry. Being on the registry makes getting a job and finding a place to live difficult, but there are serious consequences if you don’t register.
First, not registering for a 10-year registry crime is a state jail felony and you can get up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine. Second, not registering for a lifetime registry crime or not verifying registration once per year is a third-degree felony. You can get up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
One of the most common defenses to a sex crimes charge is mistaken identity. If you can prove that you did not commit the act, your attorney can get the charge dismissed.
“It’s not my job to judge my clients, it’s my job to ensure their constitutional rights are protected and to provide them with a fair and just defense.”

Client Reviews
We hired Mr. Mendoza’s office after a family member recommended him. He got us the maximum possible settlement and he was able to reduce our bills by a SUBSTANTIAL amount after a drunk driver hit us head-on. The process can be long depending on the insurance(s) willingness to agree and investigate but that’s not the lawyers fault. We are very satisfied with Mr. Mendoza’s service and attention to our case.
