I'm not sure what you are asking?
I assume you are asking if you have sex with your first cousin, can the children be removed.
Under Section 2.007 of the Texas Family Code it states who you can marry in Texas legally.
Read it.
I appears that you cannot marry a son or daughter of a parent's brother or sister. If that applies in your case, then don't date your cousin.
I hope this helps.
