Texas has another law which can push consent age to 18 based on inducement (persuasion and influence). It’s Under sexual performances, but it also has an “or” phrase to include sexual conduct by itself and has had courts rule this way.

quote:

---

…A person commits an offense if, knowing the character and content thereof, he employs, authorizes, or induces a child younger than 18 years of age to engage in sexual conduct or a sexual performance.

… "Sexual conduct" means sexual contact, actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sado-masochistic abuse, or lewd exhibition of the genitals, the anus, or any portion of the female breast below the top of the areola.
