answered on Jul 29, 2019

My son just started dating a young girl and she is 16. He is 19. I know about the Romeo and Juliet law in Texas but if he turns 20 before she turns 17, is that against the law?
answered on Jul 22, 2019
Romeo & Juliet only protects him if he is 3 years TO THE DAY older or less. If he is 3 years and 1 day older than she is then he can't use that defense for Sexual Assault of a Child or Indecency with a Child.
WARNING: He could be prosecuted for Sexual Performance of a Child until... View More
We have open harassment charges against them because they constantly harass us day in and day out. This is something that we think they have done just to get on our nerves but I’m worried about what they will do with footage of my two year old.

I’m going through court right now and they keep giving me continuances for court dates. I turn 18 in December, could they possibly be waiting until i turn 18 so they can punish me as an adult?
answered on Jul 18, 2019
The juvenile court does not lose jurisdiction over you when you turn 18. The relevant date is the date of the offense. So, no they aren’t just continuing it to send you to adult court.
My mother keeps me inside most of the time. Sometimes I don’t go outside for days simply because my mom said so. I just want to be able to feel freedom or relaxed without being a prisoner in my own home
answered on Jul 17, 2019
You can go outside for fresh air, to garden, to take photographs, feed the birds, to read a book, wash the car, or to exercise any time you like. However you may not leave the premises without your mother's permission, except for school or a medical emergency, until you are 18.

Apparently there is no Parole Eligibility Date. Read the Judgment of Conviction to make sure. So 15 years has to be served. But I would have thought he might get 15% off for good behavior with that conviction. I may be mistaken but the Judgment must be examined.

If a 17 year old leaves home, can they be persecuted in Texas? If they are living in a non dangerous environment and the people they are living with are willing to take them in. Is there different laws for this in different towns in Texas?
answered on Jul 12, 2019
The people the 17 year old is living with could be prosecuted for the crime of Harboring a Runaway Child.

Call the clerk of the court it was Ordered in and request a certified copy of the Order. They can mail or you can pick it up at the courthouse. There may be a small fee depending on the County. I pray this helps.
