Ebay And Social Media Clarification
Summary
In Texas, eBay is generally considered an e-commerce platform rather than social media under Sex Offender Registration (SOR) laws. However, legal interpretations can vary, and its crucial to understand the specific conditions of your registration requirements. If your attorney did not inform you of the sex offender registration consequences, it might constitute ineffective assistance of counsel. You can challenge the clarity of Chapter 62 regarding online identifiers through a motion for declaratory judgment. If successful, charges related to non-reporting could be dismissed. To amend the law, work with a legislator to draft and introduce a bill. Cases like Ex parte Evans and Rodriguez v. State have examined the clarity of Chapter 62. A plea can be involuntary if not informed of post-probation requirements. Consider consulting a lawyer for personalized advice.Full Conversation
my attorney persuaded me to accept a plea deal but did not explain the sex offender requirments that now have huge collateral consequences including an additional arrest.
It sounds like your attorney may not have provided you with all the necessary information regarding the consequences of the sex offender registration requirements. This could be a significant issue, especially given the additional arrest.
Here are some key points regarding plea deals and ineffective assistance of counsel in Texas:
- Ineffective Assistance of Counsel: If an attorney fails to inform a defendant of the direct consequences of a plea deal, it might constitute ineffective assistance of counsel.
- Post-Conviction Relief: You may be able to file a motion for post-conviction relief. This can include a writ of habeas corpus, arguing that your plea was not made knowingly and voluntarily.
- Sex Offender Registration: Texas has strict guidelines and requirements for sex offender registration, which can include restrictions on internet use and social media interactions.
Given your situation, consulting with another attorney who specializes in post-conviction relief or sex offender registration issues might be beneficial.
Is there any specific detail about the additional arrest or the terms of your registration that you'd like more clarification on?
