As with most states, Texas takes a hard stance against sexually-motivated crimes by punishing offenders with tough prison sentences and other consequences.

The two main Texas statutes describing improper sexual contact and unlawful sexual acts are:

• Texas Penal Code 22.011 (prohibiting sexual assault)
• Texas Penal Code 22.021 (prohibiting aggravated sexual assault)
