Stronger sexual assault protections for impaired people

Texas law treats sexual acts as without consent when intoxication or impairment by any substance makes someone unable to consent. The person engaging in the sexual act must know the other person cannot consent. The rule no longer requires that person to have secretly and intentionally given the other person a substance. This change applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025; earlier offenses remain under prior law. The law also uses the Texas Penal Code's existing definition of consent.
