Newbie: worried about being arrested

Chung Tran, yup.
To clarify: First, I wont set a meeting with a lady who does not lfk or dfk. Second, making out leads to wandering hands. Kissing and starting to make out leads to determining whether the particular first date is an LE without discussing anything sexual.

True story: Once when initially meeting with a lady I had not met before, the lady asked me to show her my cock (so she could be sure I was not LE). Soooo.... after a short chat, we both agreed to flash each other. It was an awkward moment for both of us. Later, during our session, I had to ask her how she could tell I wasnt LE by what my penis looked like. She just laughed, slapped me and told me I better come back and see her again.

Don't ask about specific activities. Do your homework and read reviews. You're less likely to run into a girl who works with LE if she is well reviewed. Also, check to see who has reviewed her. Are they members that post regularly, or are they members who have only posted one review for the provider in question? A provider with a bunch of reviews from random handles that have only posted a review for her should set off an alarm. Check to see if she has p411 and see how many OK's she has given out. Last, do not be afraid of a lady who screens. In fact, you should feel better about the matter because it shows that she cares about safety. If she is asking you for your information, be compliant. Hesitation to fork over the needed information for screening tends to either piss ladies off or make them apprehensive about seeing you.

People just need to do the research on both ends and go with your instinct. As well as know the laws in the state of Texas!

Law enforcement officers engage in elaborate sting operations targeting adult entertainment establishments, clubs, massage businesses, swingers clubs, and escort services. Numerous defenses can be used to fight the charges including the entrapment defense.

The statutory scheme in Texas for such offenses makes a distinction between:
the person who engages in the sexual conduct for compensation ("the prostitute"); and

the person who solicits the prostitution (commonly called "the john"); and
the person who engages in the promotion or aggravated promotion of prostitution (the "pimp" or "madame") as an organized activity.
Penalties for Prostitution under Texas Law

The prostitution statute in Texas, Section 43.02(a) provides:

(a) A man or woman commits an offense of prostitution if the person knowingly:
(1) offers to engage, agrees to engage, or engages in sexual conduct for a fee; or
(2) solicits another in a public place to engage with him in sexual conduct for hire.

Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 43.02(a) (Vernon 2003).

For the prostitution statutes, Texas law defines the term knowingly to mean that "[a] person acts knowingly, or with knowledge, with respect to the nature of his conduct ... when he is aware of the nature of his conduct.” § 6.03(b).

Solicitation for Prostitution in a Public Place

When it is alleged that the person committed prostitution by knowingly soliciting another in a public place to engage in sexual conduct for hire then the offense can be charged as a class B misdemeanor offense. See Tex. Penal Code Ann § 43.02(a)(2) (Vernon 2003). This subsection requires the prosecution to prove that the conduct occurred in a public place, whereas subsection 43.02(a)(1) does not so require.

Depending on the particular facts of the case, certain places can be considered either public or not public depending on whether the public has access to the area at the time of the alleged offense. Texas law defines the term “public place” as any place to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access and includes, but is not limited to the common areas of:

hotels;
apartment buildings;
schools (including colleges and educational institutions);
office buildings;
hospitals;
retail establishments and shops;
transport facilities such as airports or bus stations; or
the streets and highways.

See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 1.07(a)(40) (Vernon Supp.2008).

Solicitation of Prostitution

Texas Penal Code section 43.03 criminalizes the solicitation of prostitution, and it expressly does not apply to the prostitute who is the person who engages in the sexual conduct for compensation. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 43.03.

Therefore, the person accused of being merely a prostitute should not be charged under section 43.03 because the statute does not apply in those cases.
Promotion and Aggravated Promotion of Prostitution under Texas Law


Texas law defines prostitution enterprise as a design or plan for a venture or undertaking in which two or more persons agree to, offer to, or engage in sexual conduct in return for a fee. A man or woman can be accused of the criminal offense of aggravated promotion of prostitution if he or she:

knowingly acts;
supervises, manages, invests in, owns, finances or controls a prostitution enterprise;
when the enterprise uses two or more prostitutes.

See Tex.Penal Code Ann. § 43.04(a).
