Is it legal for a 28 year old man to date a 17 year old girl in Texas?

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.

The age of consent in TX is 17. You can have sex with her and not go to jail. But the parents can get a TRO on you if they want. She is still not 18 and still has to listen to the parents. If she is at your house and her mom calls the cops they will go to your house and just tell her she needs to go home.

Is it legal in NJ for a 17 year old girl to date a 21 year old guy?

There are no laws for dating. It's the parents who decide who their minor is allowed to see. Sex is only allowed when the minor have reached age of consent (16 in NJ) in their state. If the parents find it inappropriate they can get a restraining order against the adult and if the relationship is sexual the parents can report it and the court will decide after an investigation if the minor was used by the adult or not and if she understood what kind of relationship she got herself into even though she is age of consent and can legally give consent for sex. If the court finds she was used by the adult the age of consent can be raised to 18 which would make him guilty of statutory rape.

How much time do you have to file a small claim?

Generally, there is no waiting period for filing a small claim. In fact, because of the statutes of limitation, your claim may be barred if it is not timely filed. However, some courts require (and I highly recommend) that before filing your small claim, you send a certified letter to the person who you are suing and demand the money you are claiming. Sending such a letter, and giving the other party a reasonable time to respond, will make you look better at trial.

Can you marry your third cousin in Texas?

Marriage of Cousins in TexasYes and no. The law was amended a few years ago to prohibit marriage of first cousins, and the application for a marriage license requires each applicant to mark "true" or "false" to a question asking if the applicants are cousins. But, a marriage resulting from fraud or mistake in the application is not void, so if you lie on the application, you can be prosecuted for perjury, but still, apparently, validly married, although there don't seem to be any court cases interpreting the statute. It is hard to believe that this was an intended result, so one would think that either the Texas legislature or the courts would do something to alter this outcome.

How do you get emancipated in Texas?

The state refers to emancipation as "Removal of Disabilities of a Minor"; Texas Family Code, Title 2, Chapter 31. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us You can try. Among other things, you'd have to prove to the court that you are capable of fully supporting yourself--that means establishing and maintaining your own residence, not living with someone else and depending on them for support--and that there is a valid, legitimate reason that they should grant emancipation--simply not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom is not going to be enough. http://www.bostoncoop.net/lcd/emancipation/texas.html The age of majority is 18. That's when you would be "naturally" emancipated in Texas.

How tall do you have to be to sit in the front seat of a car in texas?

Although there is no law that prevents youngsters from sitting in the front seat of a vehicle, the safest place for a child in a car is in a rear seat, properly buckled into a child safety seat or a booster seat. Air bags don't replace child safety seats and may increase the risk of serious injury to children. Children younger than 13 should never ride in the front seats of vehicles with active passenger air bags. http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/director_staff/Public_information/pr090705.htm
