Question: Can you date a 17 if your 21 in Texas?

17: It is legal for a person to have sex with someone who is under the age of consent so long as both parties are at least 14 years old and under 21 years old.

What is the oldest a 17 year old can date in Texas?

That means that an older person can lawfully engage in consensual sex with someone who is 17 years or older. Interestingly, the phrase “age of consent” does not appear in the Texas statutes. Texas law explicitly forbids any person from engaging in sexual activity with a person under the age of 13.

Can a 17-year-old and a 30 year old date in Texas?

The age of consent in Texas is 17. This means any individual 17 years or older can legally agree to have sex or participate in sexual activities. Therefore, any minor 16 or younger cannot consent to sex with adults.
