Is Prostitution a Misdemeanor or a Felony in Texas?
Prostitution is a Class B misdemeanor, but there are three exceptions:
- If the defendant has been convicted for prostitution 1-2 times before, it will be a Class A misdemeanor
- If the defendant has previously been convicted 3-4 times for prostitution, it will be a state jail felony
- If the defendant solicited an individual for prostitution who was younger than 18 or who they believed to be under 18, prostitution can be charged as a felony of the second degree
