Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am 17 and have recently been in contact with my sister, who is 15, that i have never met. Her mother has told me that she doesn't want me to have any contact with my sister because i have ties to my and my sister's father. Can i still legally have contact with my sister , her being in California and me being in Texas even though her mother says not to?
