Defining Sexual Assault Under Texas Law
In Texas, sexual assault is defined as any sexual act that happens without your consent. This may involve:
-
Unwanted sex or sexual contact of any kind.
-
Acts carried out through force, threats, or coercion, or
-
Situations where you are unable to give consent because of age (under the age of 17), incapacity (mental or physical), or impairment (drugged or intoxicated)
Sexual assault can take many forms, from physical violence to exploitation through manipulation or intimidation. But no matter the circumstance, it is never your fault.
At Amos Barton Law Firm, we are here to stand with you. Our team helps survivors understand their rights, take steps to protect themselves, and pursue justice through both the criminal and civil legal systems. We are committed to holding perpetrators accountable and ensuring you have a strong advocate by your side every step of the way.
Civil vs. Criminal Aspects of Sexual Assault Claims
Sexual assault cases can move forward in criminal and civil courts, and each serves a different purpose.
In a criminal case, the state prosecutes the offender, seeking penalties such as imprisonment, fines, or mandatory registration.
Civil cases empower victims to pursue compensation for protective orders, medical expenses, counseling, lost income, and, most profoundly, pain, anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Both processes can run concurrently, giving survivors the opportunity to secure justice and financial recovery. We evaluate every option and pursue accountability through both legal paths.
