Ex-TABC agent convicted of sex assault on teenager

County grand jury issued four indictments charging Chavez with four felony violations and a Class A misdemeanor, official oppression. The charges stemmed from Chavezs work as a state police officer with the TABC, where he investigated licensed alcohol retailers that were believed to be selling alcoholic beverages to minors. According to state prosecutors, Chavez sexually assaulted a 16-year-old female after she assisted him with an undercover sting operation in 2009. That assault led to Chavezs guilty pleas for both second-degree felony sexual assault and official oppression. Before the evening of the assault, the defendant sent the minor victim a text message containing a sexually explicit image of himself, which prompted his guilty plea on the online solicitation of a minor charge.
