Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child is defined as an individual engaging in sexual contact with a child who is under the age of 14.

Crime Statistics among Texas LTC Holders
The crime statistics among Texas LTC holders for Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child indicate that there were 10 convictions, comprising 0.37% of the total convictions in the state. In comparison, there were 2,699 convictions among non-LTC holders, comprising 99.63% of the total convictions in the state.
Factors that may contribute to the difference in crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders
There are a few factors that may contribute to the difference in crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders. One factor is that background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC are more stringent than those for non-LTC holders. This may indicate that those who are granted an LTC are more likely to be law-abiding citizens than those without one. Additionally, LTC holders may be more likely to take training and education courses, which can increase their knowledge about the law and make them more aware of the potential consequences of breaking it. Finally, LTC holders may have a greater sense of risk and responsibility, which may be due to the fact that they have invested in the training and have a firearm.
Conclusion

The results showed that LTC holders had only 0.37% of the total convictions in the state, compared to 99.63% for non-LTC holders. This suggests that LTC holders are more likely to be law-abiding citizens than those without one. Factors such as background checks and eligibility requirements, training and education, and perception of risk and responsibility may have contributed to this difference. These findings have implications for the group with the higher percentage, suggesting that they should become more aware of the potential consequences of breaking the law.
