Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Texas

My son was charged with sexual assualt to a child but the girl was over the age where it should have been worded different. It should have said to an allsent and he did not go out and rape her she lied about her age in order to go with him. Can the words be changed on his papers? Because this is stoping him from getting a job when they do back ground checks.

It sounds like he was convicted. If so, there cannot now be changes on his "papers". If the case is pending, he needs a lawyer to represent him. Be aware that it does not matter if a person lies about their age - it is strict liability meaning that it is illegal to have sex with a person under 17 no matter what age they say that they are.
