Defining Public Lewdness
In Texas, public lewdness is defined as the engagement of sexual activity in a public area – or in a place that can offend or alarm others.
The activity may involve:
- Sexual intercourse
- Exposing the genitals
- Sexual contact, such as touching the breasts or private areas to arouse or satisfy sexual desire
- Contact between the mouth of a person or genitals and the private parts of a fowl or animal
The Class A misdemeanor involves a punishment of a fine up to $4,000 and one year in jail. You may also have to register as a sex offender. Your future is highly at stake when you’re arrested for this serious misdemeanor offense.
What Is Considered a Public Place?
A public place is anywhere but a residence, such as a street, common area, city park, public restroom, or a vehicle parked in a lot or along a roadway.
Police can arrest you for public lewdness if you were in a nonpublic place and offended or alarmed someone.
