Age is not the relevant problem here. Texas does not recognize the validity of a same-sex domestic partnership. For that matter, Texas does not recognize any domestic partnerships. You are merely roommates.
Since she is 16 and you are within 3 years of her age, you have an affirmative defense to a criminal prosecution. The age of consent in Texas is 17. She cannot enter into a binding contract until she is 18 years old. A Texas court will not enforce any contract that has been determined to be against public policy. |
