Can a fifteen year old stay alone over night in Texas?

It should not be an issue. The key is does the 15 year old feel safe? If they can handle any emergencies and are to be trusted, it should be okay.
Is there a legal law concerning what age to be left aovernight alone in Oregon?
The law doesn't specify in detail what the rules are because different children are different and different situations are different. However, the parent or guardian has a responsibility to make sure that a child is safe and secure at all times, even if left home alone. This means that if the child runs into any trouble, their own fault or someone else's, the parent could be liable for prosecution for child neglect. Thus, do not heave any minor home alone for extended periods without duly considering the child's personality and the circumstances.In general, a child age 17 and younger should have adult supervision overnight unless the child is very, very responsible and mature, in which case a 16-17 year old could reasonably be left alone overnight perhaps once or twice a year for extraordinary reasons so long as there is responsible adult help close-by and available by phone and so long as those other adults are aware that this child is home alone.A child age 13-15 in general shouldn't be left alone for more than a few hours, depending on the maturity and personality of the child. For children younger than 13, again, the circumstances and the personality of the child play a role. Obviously a 12-year-old and a 2-year-old are different; a responsible 12-year-old could be left alone for an hour or two during the day in a safe and secure household where a nearby adult is available in case of emergency, whereas a 2-year-old should never be left alone at all, even in a car, for any reason.
