Williamson County attorney arrested for child porn

The felony arrest complaint was filed only because of what Round Rock investigators say they found inside a cellphone.

"Through looking at the photographs on the phone we found images we believed to be child pornography," said Sgt. John Rowe.

Sgt. John Rowe said Round Rock detectives  have so far recovered about 200 images of child pornography. The bulk, according to court documents, were  found on electronic devices recovered from the  behrens ranch home of attorney Tallion Taylor.

"Whoever downloaded these, to these devices, obviously they have an interest in this," said Sgt. Rowe.

Taylor, from his front door told FOX 7 his interest was purely professional -- because the images - he claims- belong to a former client.

"The only reasonable explanation is it came from a client and attorney client privilege prevents me from divulging that."

Taylor also had an excuse for why the porn was also on his phone.

"I believe it ended up on a SD card there were several SD cards, we use to use those in the office  frequently to transfer documents  from one computer to another. "

Taylor went on to say the devices containing the porn were originally kept  in his office. He closed last month and were brought to his home. That  excuse has not been rule out by investigators.

"But we can tell you we are confident  he was in possession of them he was aware he was in possession of them so now we are having  to take that to the next step  and see where this takes us, we will follow the evidence where ever it takes us," said Sgt. Rowe.

Bring the porn home - Taylor said was  an honest mistake - just like the threat he allegedly made which originally brought the police to his house. Police were told that Taylor was going to post on line a compromising picture of his ex wife. Taylor- as we spoke at his front door-  admitted he violated  the new revenge porn law.

"And that happened back in September, in an argument between my ex and I and it wasn't until she got, we got into another argument three months later that she decided to call the cops, again for it," said Taylor.

It was a call that turned a misdemeanor complaint into a felony case.
