There are no laws about what age you have to be to date, in Texas or any other state, so it is legal. There are laws about sexual activity and depending on the state, this is probably not an issue either. In most places you have to be at least 16 to consent, if not 17 or 18.

∙ 13y agoFor many purposes, yes, but for others, no. For example, a 17 year old is automatically an adult if accused of a crime; however, his or her parents are still responsible for providing food and shelter for a 17 year old. Also, a 17 year old cannot enter into contracts (in general).
