Is prostitution legal in dallas texas

In Dallas County, we are extremely lucky to have police officers who look for these kids on the streets (and elsewhere) and a district attorney’s office devoted to prosecuting their exploiters. Recently, I was discussing a human trafficking case with defense counsel, who leaned in and said, “You know, your alleged victim is a prostitute.” I looked at him and said, “You know, she’s only 15.” It was clear that he will never see her as just a kid, just as I will never dismiss her victimization by categorizing her as “just a prostitute.” She is both, making her case a very difficult one to resolve with a happy ending.
