Indecent Exposure

In Texas, indecent exposure is the crime of publicly exposing the anus or genitals in a way that might offend or alarm a person who witnesses it. The exposure must have been conducted in such a way that arousal of another person’s sexual desires or interests was intended. Indecent exposure is a Class B misdemeanor, with maximum penalties including a fine not to exceed $2,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both.

Consequences of Indecent Exposure

In addition to the potential for substantial fines and jail time, indecent exposure charges can greatly tarnish an individual’s reputation. An indecent exposure conviction can make it difficult for a person to find employment because of the negative social stigma attached to crimes of a sexual nature.

The offense can be made worse if a minor is present or if the accused touches someone else with his or her exposed private areas.
