Many of you might be unaware that there's a provision in the Texas Penal Code that grants a prostitute immunity if she cooperates with the police in the prosecution of a john.

It's not a crime to contemplate something. You have to actually do it. Otherwise there would be a lot of people in jail for murder who never killed anybody.
