Texas Sexual Assault Defense Lawyer

When an Allegation Threatens Everything You’ve Built

An allegation of sexual assault has the power to change your life long before you ever step into a courtroom. Within hours, your career may be at risk. Your professional license may come under scrutiny. Family relationships can be strained, employment may be jeopardized, and your reputation — built over decades — can be damaged by a single accusation. Whether you are under investigation, have been contacted by law enforcement, or have already been arrested, the decisions made in the earliest stages of a case can shape its outcome for years to come. At the Law Office of Lisa Greenberg, PLLC, we represent individuals facing allegations ranging from misdemeanor inappropriate conduct to the most serious felony sexual assault charges. Every case receives a personalized defense strategy built around the facts, the evidence, and the client’s goals. When your reputation is your greatest asset, every decision matters.

Whether the allegation arises from a misunderstanding, a former relationship, intoxication, mistaken identity, regret, or an intentionally false accusation, we approach every case with the same objective: uncover the truth and build the strongest defense possible.

Sexual Misconduct Allegations We Defend

Sexual misconduct allegations come in many forms, and no two cases are alike. Our firm represents clients throughout Texas facing investigations and criminal charges involving:

  • Sexual Assault

  • Aggravated Sexual Assault

  • Indecent Assault

  • Continuous Sexual Abuse

  • Online Solicitation of a Minor

  • Improper Relationship Between Educator and Student

  • Sexual Performance by a Child allegations

  • Child-related allegations

  • Date-acquaintance allegations

  • False allegations

  • Consent disputes

  • Investigations before charges are filed

More Than Your Freedom is At Stake

Many people believe the greatest consequence of a sexual assault allegation is prison. For many professionals, that is only the beginning. A conviction—or even an unresolved allegation—may affect:

  • Professional licenses

  • Medical privileges

  • Employment

  • Security clearances

  • Military careers

  • Educational opportunities

  • Child custody proceedings

Certain convictions also require mandatory sex offender registration, creating lifelong restrictions that extend well beyond the criminal sentence. Because the consequences reach far beyond the courtroom, every decision must be made strategically from the very beginning.

  • Immigration status

  • Firearm rights where applicable

  • Housing opportunities

  • Professional reputation

  • Family relationships

  • Future business opportunities

Understanding the Charges

Texas law recognizes several different sexual offenses, each carrying different penalties.

Sexual Assault

Sexual Assault under Texas Penal Code §22.011 is generally charged as a Second Degree Felony and may carry:

  • 2 to 20 years in prison

  • Up to a $10,000 fine

  • Mandatory sex offender registration in many cases

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Aggravated Sexual Assault under Texas Penal Code §22.021 involves additional aggravating circumstances such as serious bodily injury, use of a deadly weapon, certain child victims, or other statutory factors.

A conviction may result in:

Every case depends on its unique facts, prior criminal history, and the applicable provisions of Texas law.

Indecent Assault

Indecent Assault generally involves offensive or unwanted sexual contact and is typically charged as a misdemeanor. While the potential jail exposure may be less severe than felony offenses, the damage to a person's reputation, employment, and professional standing can be significant.

Every Allegation Has a Story

Sexual assault cases are rarely straightforward.

Many involve:

  • conflicting accounts

  • delayed reporting

  • alcohol or drug use

  • prior relationships

  • text messages that provide important context

  • incomplete investigations

  • little or no physical evidence

The accusation often tells only part of the story.


Before deciding how to defend a case, we take the time to understand the entire picture.

  • Who are the people involved?

  • What happened before the allegation?

  • What happened afterward?

  • What evidence exists that investigators may have overlooked?

Only after answering those questions do we develop a strategy tailored to your case.

Building a Strategic Defense

Our investigation begins immediately. Depending on the facts of the case, we may:

  • reconstruct timelines

  • review phone records

  • analyze text messages

  • recover deleted communications

  • preserve social media evidence

  • obtain surveillance footage

  • interview witnesses

  • examine forensic files

  • consult DNA and toxicology experts

  • analyze digital location data

  • investigates motives to fabricate allegations

  • identify inconsistencies in witness statements

Every investigation is designed to answer one question:

What actually happened?

Why Early Representation Matters

Many clients contact our office before charges have even been filed. Early intervention can make a significant difference.

We may be able to:

  • communicate with investigators before an arrest

  • preserve evidence before it disappears

  • interview witnesses while memories remain fresh

  • prevent inaccurate assumptions from becoming accepted facts

  • present exculpatory evidence early in the investigation

In some situations, early strategic intervention may result in charges never being filed.

A Strategic Approach for Professionals

We routinely represent individuals whose careers depend upon their reputation.

Our clients include professionals, business owners, physicians, attorneys, executives, educators, athletes, and others who have spent years building successful careers.

For these clients, the objective is not simply defending a criminal case.

It is protecting a lifetime of work. Our representation considers not only the courtroom, but also licensing issues, employment concerns, reputation management, and the broader consequences an allegation may create.

Possible Defense Strategies

Every defense is built around the facts.

Potential issues may include:

  • Consent

  • False allegations

  • Mistaken identity

  • Fabricated evidence

  • Credibility challenges

  • Motive to accuse

  • Constitutional violations

  • Improper police investigation

  • Digital evidence contradicting allegations

  • Scientific evidence inconsistent with the accusation

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we build a strategy unique to each client and each case.
