The Texas Sex Crimes Investigation Process
Sex crime investigations begin with a report of a sex crime, such as rape of an adult, molestation of a child, or child pornography. Once there is a report, the appropriate authorities begin their investigation.
Many agencies investigate sexual allegations. These agencies depend on where the alleged offense took place and where you live. The agency must have jurisdiction over the alleged crime to investigate.
Evidence Gathered by Sex Crime Investigators
An agency’s investigation primarily consists of gathering evidence, such as:
- The victim’s statement
- Witness statements
- Observations regarding the scene upon arrival
- Photos of the scene
- Observations regarding the victim’s physical state and injuries
- Wound patterns on the victim, including bite marks or restraint marks
- The victim’s clothing
- Bodily fluids found on the victim or at the scene
- Possible sources of saliva or skin cells, including cigarettes, chewed gum, or partially eaten food
- Fingerprints
- The presence of drugs in the victim’s system
- Fibers on the victim or at the scene
- Possible weapons at the scene
- Fragments from broken glass
- Entomological evidence, which includes insects such as head lice or crab lice, on the victim
- The presence of a sexually transmitted disease/infection
- Electronic devices
- Online and electronic communications
If the victim alleges the assault took place immediately before the report or recently, the police will conduct a thorough search for evidence on the victim, at the crime scene, and in the area where the alleged crime occurred.
When the alleged assault occurred weeks, months, or years in the past, there is usually little evidence to collect. An exception is an internet-related sex crime because a device, computer, or network may hold an in-depth history relevant to a sexual offense.
If you are arrested and learn you are a person of interest in a sex crime, It is in your best interest to call a sex crime attorney immediately.
Why You Need a Texas Sex Crimes Lawyer Immediately
If you are accused of a sex crime, law enforcement will likely contact you to discuss the allegations. If the alleged victim is a child, both the police and Child Protective Services will want to speak with you.
Along with other questions, the investigating agency may ask you to submit to a polygraph test or provide a DNA sample, such as a cheek swab. You can and should refuse these requests until you talk with your attorney. In our experience, defendants should not give a law enforcement agency potential evidence. If the police have probable cause, they can seek a warrant to obtain a DNA sample.
Your Attorney Protects Your Rights
The purpose of a Texas sex crimes investigation is to collect evidence to file charges and make an arrest. No matter how casual or friendly their questions might seem, everything you say to the police or CPS can be evidence against you.
Houston sex crimes lawyer Ned Barnett protects your rights and helps ensure that police and other agencies follow proper procedures.
You are within your rights to decline to speak to law enforcement or CPS unless your attorney is present. You also have the right to refuse an interview. Even an innocent remark could be taken out of context and used against you.
If the police or CPS contact you, politely decline to speak with them and immediately contact a Houston criminal defense attorney who has experience handling sex crime cases. You deserve to protect yourself from misunderstandings or false allegations.
How an Attorney Defends You From False Allegations
The Law Offices of Ned Barnett can investigate the charges and involved parties. An experienced Houston criminal defense lawyer also reviews the procedures and evidence to look for irregularities. The prosecution cannot use evidence obtained illegally, and your lawyer would seek to suppress this evidence.
Having a qualified Houston defense attorney represent you as early as possible can help you prevent charges from ever being filed. If your case moves forward, your lawyer could negotiate for a lesser charge or prepare your defense to take before a jury.
What To Do if You Are Falsely Accused With a Sex Crime
Once you are aware that there are false allegations against you regarding a sex crime and that you are the subject of a criminal investigation, you should:
- Contact a sex crime attorney immediately
- Remain calm and always speak politely yet firmly
- Decline to talk with any state or local police or federal authority
- Do not let any law enforcement agents into your house unless they have a valid warrant
- Do not consent to a warrantless search of your vehicle, property, or electronic devices
- Decline to speak with CPS
- Do not communicate with the alleged victim
- Do not communicate with potential witnesses
- Do not discuss the accusations with friends, family members, co-workers, or acquaintances
- Do not attempt to destroy possible evidence
During an investigation, you need to refrain from doing anything that could incriminate you. To thoroughly understand how to avoid self-incrimination, hire an experienced and aggressive sex crime defense lawyer from The Law Offices of Ned Barnett.

Here are answers to some of the top questions people have regarding sex crimes investigations in Texas. If you have additional questions, contact our office for a free consultation.
How Long Does an Assault Investigation Take?
Assault investigations can take days, weeks, or months. It takes time for a police department or Child Protective Services to interview people and gather evidence. It may take days or weeks before the police receive the results of scientific testing, such as the testing of substances for DNA.
Considering you can be under suspicion for a lengthy time, you must work with a sex crime lawyer who will protect your rights and reputation. A lawyer will also ensure that the police or CPS do not overstep their boundaries and violate your rights during a sex crime investigation.
How Long Does a Prosecutor Have to File Charges?
You must be aware of the statute of limitations for sex crimes in Texas. A statute of limitations means there is a deadline for prosecutors to file charges against you or seek a felony indictment through a grand jury. This deadline can vary depending on the type of sex charges against you.
What is the Statute of Limitations for Sex Offenses in Texas?
For most crimes, prosecutors only have a few years. However, for sex crimes in Texas, prosecutors may have 10 years. Sexual assault of an adult has a ten-year statute of limitations from the alleged offense date.
Prosecutors have 20 years from the victim’s eighteenth birthday for sexual performance by a child and aggravated kidnapping with intent to commit a sex crime when the victim is under seventeen years old,
For certain sex offenses, there is no statute of limitations. These include continuous sexual assault of a child, aggravated sexual assault on a child, indecency with a child, and human trafficking. A prosecutor can file charges against you whenever they believe they have enough evidence. It could be five, 10, or 30 years later.
Penalties for a Sex Crime Conviction in Texas
Defending yourself against sex crime charges is essential. If charges are brought against you after a Texas sex crimes investigation, you could be facing harsh consequences.

Texas Agencies that Investigate Sex Crimes
Where a crime takes place influences which department has authority over the investigation and potential charges. Throughout Texas, hundreds of counties, cities, and towns have police departments that investigate sex crimes.
Child Protective Services
There are offices for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and Child Protective Services throughout Texas.
Any time CPS receives information about alleged abuse or neglect, it must open an investigation. CPS sex crime investigations usually begin when someone reports an alleged crime.
However, CPS can investigate if police receive information regarding an alleged crime against a child. When such information is received, the police contact a local CPS office to investigate and determine whether the child is safe at home or should be removed.
During a CPS sex crime investigation, a caseworker will interview all people living in the child’s home, any alleged perpetrators, and anyone who may have information regarding the crime. You do not have to agree to speak with a caseworker. Still, you should have a sex crime defense lawyer present if you agree to an interview.
Texas Law Enforcement Agencies
You may be investigated by the Texas Ranger Division of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The Texas Rangers often lead investigations after major crimes, unsolved crimes/cold cases, serial crimes, and cases related to organized crime.

Within each county, various law enforcement agencies may conduct sex crime investigations. A county sheriff has jurisdiction over every city, town, and village within the county.
