Re: Romeo & juliet law
Your question is very broad. Generally speaking, the Texas statutes, as regards Romeo & Juliet law, is that 17 is the age of consent in Texas for consensual sex. It is an affirmative defense to prosecution that the person under 17 was within three years of the age of the defendant.
