Penalties for Sexual Assault in Texas

Sexual assault, also known as rape, is defined by Texas law as any non-consensual, unwanted sexual contact or penetration against another individual with the threat or use of physical force or violence. The offense is typically considered a second-degree felony, which is punishable by a prison sentence between two and 25 years.

However, there are some circumstances that may elevate the sexual assault charge to an aggravated sexual assault charge. This type of sexual assault offense is a first-degree felony, punishable by a life imprisonment sentence or a prison sentence between five and 99 years.

Aggravated circumstances include the following:

  • The offender caused serious injury or attempted to cause the death of the victim

  • The offender acted with another person in committing the crime
  • The offender used a deadly weapon in committing the crime
