Texas Legal Consequences Overview
Summary
In Texas, thoughts alone cannot lead to prosecution, but actions resulting from those thoughts can. Attempting suicide is not a criminal offense, but may involve legal consequences if other laws are broken. Indecent exposure has a two-year statute of limitations, and repeat offenders may be required to register as sex offenders. Petty theft under $100 is a Class C misdemeanor with a fine up to $500. Incest is illegal regardless of gender, and sexual activity under 17 can lead to juvenile charges. Minors may face sex offender registration based on case specifics. Indecency with a child involves inappropriate behavior and can lead to severe penalties. Juvenile sexual assault cases focus on rehabilitation, with potential for detention or counseling.Full Conversation
