Then the dude shows up at 3pm with condoms and wine and BOOM. He's arrested. And that would be a valid bust. Conviction would also be possible, but it's not a slam dunk.

If someone has phone interaction as described above, and never shows up for a face to face meeting has very little to worry about. So, if that's what you meant, Gina, then, yes, the phone interaction by itself probably won't get anyone in trouble.
Heck, in Texas, you can be charged with a crime for simply being in an area where prostitution is known to occur without having a legitimate reason to be there. That's a crime here.
