Sex trafficking is a devastating crime that impacts individuals, families, and communities across Texas, including right here in Austin. Survivors of sex trafficking often endure physical abuse, emotional trauma, and long-term psychological effects. If you or someone you love has been a victim of sex trafficking, it’s important to know that justice is possible—and legal help is available.
Our Austin sex trafficking lawyers are committed to helping survivors break free from silence and hold traffickers, institutions, and enabling third parties accountable. Whether the trafficking was carried out by individuals, organized networks, or occurred due to negligence by businesses such as hotels, landlords, or transportation providers, Texas law allows survivors to pursue civil compensation for the harm they have suffered.
In many cases, victims of sex trafficking were exploited under coercion, manipulation, or threats. Traffickers often operate in secrecy, making it difficult for survivors to come forward. That’s why our team provides trauma-informed legal support in a confidential and safe environment. We listen without judgment and take the time to explain your legal options at every step.
Survivors may be eligible to seek compensation for:
Medical and psychological care
Pain and suffering
Lost wages or economic harm
Rehabilitative support
Punitive damages against traffickers and negligent institutions
Texas law also provides options for filing lawsuits against third parties who profited from or failed to prevent trafficking, such as hotels, online platforms, or employers who ignored clear signs of exploitation. Civil claims can be powerful tools to not only pursue justice but also bring systemic change.
At our firm, we offer free, confidential consultations for trafficking survivors in Austin and surrounding areas. We work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. Your courage matters. And our team is ready to help you take the next step toward healing and justice.
