Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

sexual activities age in Texas

My Birthday is March ,1986. I am 21 year old female. I am dating a girl

that is 17 right now and will be 18 in August of this year (2007)... I live

in the State of Texas. If she and I decide to have sexual activities could

her parents or just somebody press charges on me for anything? With this

age difference of mine? I have read that a 17 in Texas can have sexual

activites with somoeone older and it will be fine. But With my age is it ok

since its about 3 years and some months.
