A: The legal age of consent in Texas is 17. Depending on your age at the time you give birth, there may be an issue if you became pregnant before you were 17. There are exceptions to this rule so if you foresee and issue, you may speak to a criminal defense attorney in your jurisdiction.

A: Your question should be asked in the criminal and/or family law section not estate planning.
