Prostitution is any sexual conduct in return for a fee. Although criminalized in Texas Penal Code Sec. 43.02[1], anyone accused of prostitution or soliciting prostitution remains innocent under the law until proven guilty. 

Arrests on charges of “prostitution” and “solicitation for prostitution” account for a significant portion of all arrests for sexually-oriented crimes in the Harris County area.
