Texas does not have a law that specifically answers your question.
In my experience, the answer is that it is not per se illegal, but will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Generally, a judge would take a dim view of a parent leaving a 15 year old home alone for several days; but the circumstances may be such that it can be justified. |
