What is Wire Fraud?
Wire fraud involves using electronic communication or wire transfers to deceive others with the intent to commit fraud. It encompasses various fraudulent schemes, such as email scams, phishing, telemarketing fraud, and online financial scams. The use of wire communication gives federal authorities jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute these cases.
Texas and Federal Wire Fraud Laws
Wire fraud is primarily governed by federal law; however, Texas fraud statutes may also apply in certain situations. These laws make it illegal to devise or participate in a scheme to defraud others, using interstate or foreign wire communications.

Penalties for Wire Fraud In Texas
The penalties for wire fraud can be severe, carrying significant fines and lengthy prison sentences.

In addition, restitution may be ordered, requiring the defendant to compensate the victims for their financial losses.
Defenses Against Wire Fraud
Mounting a robust defense against wire fraud charges requires preparation, investigation, and aggressive courtroom representation. Brock Benjamin can raise several potential defenses, depending on the circumstances of the case, including:
- Lack of intent to defraud – One potential defense is to argue that there was no intent to defraud. This may involve showing that you had a legitimate purpose for your actions and did not have the specific intent to deceive or defraud others.
- Lack of knowledge – Attorney Benjamin may be able to demonstrate that you had no knowledge that your actions were part of a fraudulent scheme and weaken the prosecution’s case.
- Lack of evidence – Scrutinizing the prosecution’s evidence to identify weaknesses, inconsistencies, or gaps can cast doubt on the prosecution’s case.
- Mistaken identity – Proving you were mistakenly identified as the perpetrator of the wire fraud involves presenting evidence that points to an alternative suspect or demonstrates that you had no involvement.
- Entrapment – Entrapment occurs when law enforcement officers induce or persuade an individual to commit a crime they would not have otherwise committed. Brock Benjamin may be able to show that you were coerced or manipulated into engaging in wire fraud by law enforcement.
- Procedural errors or constitutional violations – Attorney Benjamin will examine the procedures followed by law enforcement during the investigation and arrest. If any of your constitutional rights were violated or procedural errors occurred, he can challenge the admissibility of evidence or seek a dismissal of the charges.
