Penalties for Public Lewdness and Indecent Exposure in Texas

The legal penalties for public lewdness and indecent exposure in Fort Worth aren’t severe. These crimes are misdemeanors. Public lewdness is a class A misdemeanor and comes with penalties of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. Indecent exposure is a class B misdemeanor punished by up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.

It’s not the legal penalties you should be worried about if you’re facing these charges. It’s how a sex crime looks on your criminal record. It could prevent you from living in certain neighborhoods or working certain types of jobs. This crime on your record could damage your relationships and make life extremely difficult for you.

Defenses against a Criminal Conviction of Indecent Exposure and Public Lewdness

Your Fort Worth sex offense attorney can look into your case to see what defenses are available. You should not sign a plea agreement without at least talking to an attorney to see what your options are.

Jeff Kennedy truly cares. He and his staff kept me informed all the way throughout my case and provided me with all my options and the potential outcomes for my case. When the day finally arrived to resolve my case, Jeff was able to negotiate a reduction to a lesser charge. He was well prepared and coordinated everything perfectly. Jeff is not only a good lawyer, but a good man.

N.C.L.

I hired Mr. Jeff Kennedy to handle a DWI charge. From day one, I knew I had picked the right attorney. Jeff always took the time to answer any of my questions, treated me very professionally, and truly cared about my case. I have never been in any kind of trouble before and I was very nervous about the thought of going to trial. Jeff thoroughly explained the entire process to me and made me feel at ease. Jeff took my case to trial and the jury found me NOT GUILTY!

P.T.S.

Jeff Kennedy is a professional, intelligent, easy-to-talk-to lawyer with an excellent understanding of how the system works. Jeff was able to get my twice the legal limit BAC thrown out and he kept me from having an interlock device put on my car. This has been my only big mistake in life so far (hopefully the last) and I am glad he was there to walk me through it. You will not regret hiring him.
