Bribery & Corrupt Influence Charges

Bribery and Corrupt Influence Charges in Texas
Board Certified Criminal Defense Lawyer – San Antonio, TX

Federal law and Texas law both forbid bribery. The intent of most bribery statutes is to prevent people from requesting preferential treatment from public servant or party official and to prevent public servants or party officials from using their offices for personal gain. Specifically, if a government official is offered or seeks anything of value for himself or herself in exchange for performing an official act, an act of fraud, or any action in violation of his or her official duty, the elements of bribery may be met.

In the State of Texas, Bribery and Corrupt Influence Charges Include:
• Bribery
• Coercion of Public Servant or Voter
• Improper Influence
• Tampering with Witness
• Obstruction or Retaliation
• Acceptance of Honorarium
• Gift to Public Servant by Person Subject to His Jurisdiction
