Who Is Required to Register as a Sex Offender in Texas?
Any conviction for an applicable sex crime will require you to register into the Sex Offender Database. Applicable crimes include, but are not limited to, any form of sexual assault, solicitation of a minor, child pornography, etc.
What Restrictions Are Imposed Upon Registered Sex Offenders?
In addition to social stigma, sex offenders face additional compliance rules that restrict numerous aspects of their daily lives.
Registered sex offenders are not allowed to live or participate in activities near schools, playgrounds, youth centers, or any establishment that is frequented by minors.
Becoming a registered sex offender is especially damaging for your future career goals. You will be prohibited from working with the public. Many organizations will not employ a registered sex offender, even after supervision ceases, due to social stigma.
Additional restrictions may exist based on the nature of your crime and other circumstances in your case. For example, you may be prohibited from using social media, or the internet entirely, if your sex crime was committed online.
How Long Does Registration as a Sex Offender Last?
The length of time that you are required to be a registered sex offender is determined by the severity of your sex crime charges. In some circumstances may be required to register for only 10 years, while others require lifetime registration.
