Sexual assault on Texas school campuses is a serious violation, and victims often face not only emotional trauma but also challenges when seeking justice. Under Title IX, a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education, students have the right to learn in an environment free from sexual misconduct. If you've been a victim of sexual assault at a school, college, or university, you have legal rights—and we're here to help you assert them. We can get you the closure and compensation you deserve.

Mr. Abrar and his team were more than helpful, vital and supportive of not only my case but my future as well. He was responsive, knowledgeable and quick to act/deliver. 5 stars to him and his team! Even though they will NEVER represent me again, since I NEVER plan to be in criminal court again. I do wish to positively impact lives especially aspiring ones- like Mr. Abrar and his team! Thank you again.
Simply stated, we just want to thank you and your staff for all of your efforts, guidance and peace of mind provided to us and our families.

Title IX is part of the Education Amendments of 1972 and protects students from discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that receives federal funding.
While Title IX is most commonly associated with gender equity in sports, it also covers cases of sexual harassment, assault, and violence, ensuring that schools take proper action to protect students.
The key protections under Title IX include all of the following.
Title IX prohibits all forms of sex-based discrimination, including:
These protections apply to all schools and universities in Texas receiving federal funding, ensuring that students can learn in an environment free from sex-based misconduct.
Under Title IX, schools have specific responsibilities to safeguard students from sexual harassment and violence. These responsibilities include:
In addition to addressing the complaint, schools must also provide supportive measures to victims, such as:
Schools are required to conduct reliable and impartial investigations of all complaints of sex discrimination. These investigations must be conducted in a timely, fair, and transparent manner to ensure justice is served.
Title IX also protects victims from retaliation, and schools are prohibited from acting against students who report sexual harassment, sexual violence, or related misconduct.
Beyond the Texas school's responsibilities, victims of sexual assault under Title IX are entitled to additional rights to ensure their safety and well-being. These keep your best interests at heart, and any violation can result in further legal battles.
All of these laws and regulations can become overwhelming quickly, especially with high emotions in the mix. At Abrar and Vergara, we understand how difficult this time is for you, so we handle the legal aspects and give you the necessary room to breathe.
