In Texas, as long as the two parties are over 14 years of age and they are less than 36 months apart and it was consensual, no charges will be brought against the older party. There is an exception to having sexual contact with a person younger than 17 years old commonly known as the Romeo an Juliette. Good luck with the baby.
