Question:
Is intoxication a defense for sexual assault charges?
Answer:
In Texas, intoxication is not a defense to sex crimes. People have to be very careful to not allege that they were intoxicated, that they don’t remember the offenses, or both the parties were intoxicated. That can be used against you.
Think of how it comes out. If it comes down to discussion of who to believe, the complainant or the defendant, if the defendant has stated that he was intoxicated and doesn’t remember the offense, it’s very hard to defend that type of case.
