Texas HB1215 amends the prosecution of indecency with a child and sexual assault offenses.

Texas HB1215 amends the Texas Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure to redefine the offense of indecency with a child and sexual assault. It specifies that a person commits an offense if they engage in sexual contact with a child under 18 years old or expose their genitals to a child with intent to arouse or gratify sexual desire. The bill also mandates that if a child under 17 years old is a victim, the judge must establish a child safety zone as a condition of community supervision.
