Check with the county court house in your area. They should be able to tell you what the age of maturity is or consent for this. If you do need it then you wouldn't be able to get married without it... ?More InputAnyone under the age of 18 must have permission from their parents, legal guardian or the court, the state does not make exceptions for special circumstances.

Except for a few US states and under special circumstances, all minors must have permission of their parent(s) or legal guardian or the court to marry. States determine what the legal adult age is, in most states it is 18.

There are several ways to be "married" in Texas. Texas still recognizes "common law", so it sometimes gets confusing.

If you live together as a married couple, present yourself to others as a married couple, combine your assets (like a joint checking account), and conduct your private lives as a married couple (participate in a sexual union), then under common law in Texas... you're married. Congratulations.

You can go to the Courthouse and swear out an affidavit that, if you meet common law guidelines, states you are married, then you are married. It's called a "declaration of marriage".

You can go before the Court and have the Judge declare that you are married under common law.

You can get a license and have a magistrate or judge marry you.

You can get a license and have another person authorized to perform the ceremony marry you, as in a minister or priest.

Under all circumstances, if a legal marriage exists, you still have to go to court to get a divorce.

There are no laws about dating. The only laws involve sexual contact. The law in Texas is that you have to be at least 17 to consent to sex.

But there is an affirmative defense that allows someone to have sex with someone under 17. That is

1 not more than 3 years older

2 not a registered sex offender

3 the victim must be 14 or older

4 of opposite sex
