Asked 1/27/2016 – Houston, TX

I’m from California and I traveled to Houston Tx to work (I am a escort) and I got caught in a incall sting operation (first time ever out of state) I have priors for prostitution but only in Los Angeles ca , I was wondering since I’m in Houston will they see it as a new charge in a new state?, or will they see it as another charge ?

Answer

Your case will probably not be enhanced due to your California priors, but they may appear in the criminal background check prosecutors perform in making sentencing recommendations. Hire a local attorney, ASAP. Try to move this case as fast as you can so you can get back home.
