This depends on your definition of the word 'date'. Adults and minors can legally spend time together, go to movies, go to dinner, spend time at eachothers houses, etc. etc. You cannot be arrested for being friends (these are friend-like activities). What is illegal is participating in sexual activity with a minor, which is not limited to sexual intercourse itself. And the police will be glad to arrest you on a technicality (holding hands or something equally ridiculous). So yes, it is dangerous legally. To your specific question, Texas has similar laws to forty-eight others states (Mississippi has a different set of laws). It is illegal for an adult (18+) to participate in the above activities listed with a minor (under 18). Even if the girl is two hours away from her 18th birthday, it is still illegal. I would strongly suggest waiting, considering said female will be 18 in less than one year, to do anything that is illegal or could be CONSIDERED illegal (and remember, those are two different things). I know Texans are tight on their laws and dating, in the general sense of the word, is dangerous for both individuals involved.
Get outta here you Pedo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are both minors, so yes.
yes
They are both minors, so yes.
yes it is, the legal age in Texas is 17 :)
You can date. You just can't have sex or perform any sexual acts.
In Texas, the legal age of consent for sexual activity is 17. Therefore, it would be illegal for a 16 year old girl to date an 18 year old boy if the relationship involves any sexual activity. It is important to consider the legal implications and maturity levels of both individuals in such situations.
Yes doesnt make sense..is illegal or legal?
If your conserned about it why don't you just wait till she turns 18 to be sure.
Date yes, sex no.
yes it is legal
It may be ok to "date" a 17 year old, but having a sexual relationship with her is illegal and is called statuatory rape.
