Fornication is exactly that: Willingly taking part in a sexual relationship with s/he who is not your spouse.Therefore, to sum it all up, the Catholic Church is 100% against fornication.

Is adultry a crime in Texas?

Adultery is adultery, I don't think there's some kind of law when it comes to committing adultery. Adultery is sleeping with another person who is not your husband or wife. Adultery always includes at least one married person. Sex between unmarried consenting adults is fornication. Cheating on a person you are dating is just cheating, NOT adultery . Adultery is not a criminal offense, but is grounds for the Civil action of Divorce.
