10 years, although I certainly wouldn't suggest delaying it. By the way, the parents don't actually file charges, the state does, and if someone else reports it, the state can proceed with charges even if the parents object to it.

Not without the permission of her parents. However, there could be a larger problem, the age of sexual consent in Texas is 17. Texas authorities have become very aggressive in pursuing criminal charges especially if the parents of the minor are willing to file charges. It would be a good idea to consult with an attorney before taking any further action or discussing the issue with anyone outside of your family.


If your 17 and pregnant in Texas can you move out of your parents house?

In Texas, a 17-year-old who is pregnant may be considered emancipated under certain circumstances, allowing them to move out of their parents' house without their permission. However, it would be best to seek legal advice to understand the specific laws and implications in such a situation.


What are the illegal for a 17 to get a 15 year old pregnant in Texas?

I am not sure of the question because it makes no sense. If you are asking whether it is illegal for a 17 yr old to get a 15 yr old pregnant in Texas, the 15 yr old is still statutorily considered a child. Not the the 17 yr old. The parents would have to give consent for the 15 yr old to marry, and may even need a court order as well. The parents can press charges and there is a 3yr age difference clause, which may be in effect here. If you or someone you know who is 17 has gotten or is thinking of getting a 15 yr old pregnant, I could consult an attorney, NOT the Internet.

Can a 17 year old pregnant girl move in with her 18 year old boyfriend in Texas?

Obviously you can , HONEY. do WHATEVER yoU WANT . *** Being pregnant does not emancipate a minor. So, assuming you're talking about moving in without your parents permission, no you can't. And if you do Boyfriend can be facing criminal charges. They'll start with 'harboring a runaway' and go from there.
