There is no such law in Texas, age of consent is 17. There is what is know as an affirmative defense to someone having sex with someone under 17. An affirmative defense means that the defendant must show evidence of the affirmative defense as listed in the penal code.

The affirmative defense for this is:

1 can not be more than 3 years older (to the day)

2 not a registered sex offender

3 the victim must be 14 or older

4 of opposite sex
