More details to this question:
My child was at school and saw someone using drugs. She was not involved but because she did not report it they want to punish her. She did not report it out of fear. Does texas law require her to report it? She is only 14.

She is not required to report anything but you might talk with her about keep safe against such people who are brazen enough to do such.

No! What law requires someone to be a snitch?! No Texas law on that. But is she bound under the student code of conduct or something like that? Then the school can take action. But no citizen has a duty to report a crime. No possible criminal charges ever.
