Bullying and Sexting Resources
Laws are necessary in order to protect you, but legal language can be difficult and boring to read. This page provides resources to summarize Texas’ laws that apply to bullying, harassment, sexting, intimate image abuse, sextortion, and child pornography.
Keep in Mind:
- New laws are passed all the time.
- Ignorance of the law, in other words saying: “I didn’t know,” is never a defense.
- Texas district attorneys can add charges if evidence warrants.
- Some adults may not know about apps to hide files, but police do and can access them.
