HB 3165 increases the criminal penalty for sexual assault of a child, making it a first-degree felony in cases where the victim is prohibited from marrying or engaging in sexual intercourse with the actor under Texas law. Additionally, the bill eliminates parole eligibility for offenders convicted of this offense under the new classification, ensuring they serve their full sentence without the possibility of early release.
