What Is Sexual Assault in Amarillo?
Under Texas law, sexual assault is defined in Section 22.011 of the Texas Penal Code as intentionally or knowingly causing physical contact of a sexual nature or sexual penetration with another person without their consent. Consent is a key element in these cases and is often central to legal disputes.
- Example of sexual assault: At a party, Bill engages in sexual activity with Mary, who is unable to consent due to being unconscious from having ingested drugs.
What Is Aggravated Sexual Assault in Amarillo?
Aggravated sexual assault is a more severe offense outlined in Section 22.021 of the Texas Penal Code. It involves aggravating factors such as the use or display of a deadly weapon, causing serious bodily harm, or targeting a child under 14, an elderly person, or a disabled individual. These factors escalate the gravity of the offense and the penalties involved.
- Example of aggravated sexual assault: Pete forcibly engages in sexual activity with his younger sister’s friend, who is visiting, by threatening her with a knife when everyone in the household is asleep.

Possible Defenses to Amarillo Sexual Assault Charges
Defending against sexual assault allegations requires a nuanced and aggressive approach.
Some defenses include:
- Consent. Demonstrating that the act was consensual and mutually agreed upon.
- Mistaken identity. Showing the accused was not the perpetrator by relying on alibis or other evidence.
- False allegations. Exposing cases where accusations are fabricated, often arising from disputes or ulterior motives.
- Insufficient evidence. Challenging the sufficiency or credibility of the prosecution’s evidence.
Our experienced defense lawyers meticulously evaluate the facts of the case, identify weaknesses in the evidence, and use a strategic approach designed to protect our clients’ rights and freedom.
