Sex Crimes — A North Texas Defense Lawyer
In an effort to reduce the incidence of sex crimes, the Texas legislature has enacted a number of tough laws that severely punish sex offenders. In addition to mandatory minimum sentences for certain high level sex crimes, a person convicted of a sex crime may also be subject to registration as a sex offender, court ordered sex offender counseling and a significant period of probation.
If you have been charged with sexual assault or another sex crime and you face the possibility of jail or sex-offender registration, it is critical that you retain an experienced criminal defense lawyer who will aggressively defend your rights.

Retain an Experienced Trial Lawyer
When a prosecutor considers whether they want to take a case to trial or offer a reasonable plea offer, they must balance a number of issues. Prosecutors know that trials are risky and can cause undue stress to a victim and their family. However, prosecutors also have a duty to the public and do not want to give the impression that they are soft on crime.
When prosecutors weigh these competing risks and rewards, one factor that often plays a significant role is the defendant's attorney. The prosecution is much more likely to make a reasonable plea offer if they feel that a defendant has an attorney who will take a case to trial and has the ability to win at trial.
People who retain our firm for their case can be confident in the knowledge that they are represented by an experienced trial lawyer who has earned the respect of local prosecutors. Attorney Henderson has handled over a thousand criminal cases and has handled dozens of criminal appeals. We believe strongly that his trial experience is a decided advantage for clients. This is true both in terms of an actual trial and in the pursuit of a favorable plea bargain.
