⚖️ Texas Law — Charge Details
25–99 years or life in prison (no probation, no parole until 35 years served)
Texas Penal Code § 21.02 targets serial child sexual abuse: two or more acts of sexual abuse over a period of 30 or more days against a child under 14 years of age or a disabled individual. It is always a First-Degree Felony with a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years — and the defendant is not eligible for parole until 35 calendar years have been served. Probation is not available. This is one of the most severe non-capital charges in the Texas Penal Code, reflecting the legislature's intent to impose a near-lifetime sentence on repeat child predators.
