If you have been arrested in one of the recent Prostitution stings in Fort Bend County, you need to call me today to help you with this felony charge you are facing.
Did you know that Texas is the only state in the Union in which it is a misdemeanor for a person to labor as a prostitute but a felony for the person who has solicited a prostitute (the “buyer”)? This was not always so until a fairly recent change in the law meant to cut down on human trafficking. And while that seems like a noble goal, the end result has been a never-ending police sting apparatus that borders on and sometimes actually does venture into illegal entrapment by police. And what is worse is that magistrate judges in Fort Bend County have taken it upon themselves to load up people charged with Solicitation of a Prostitute with a bundle of bail conditions that make it feel to the accused, even though he is presumed to be innocent (under both the Texas and the United States Constitutions), like he is already on felony probation, replete with prohibitions such as random drug and alcohol testing, paying $40 a month, staying away from the area know as the “Bissonnet track” and more.
