16 and 21

Texas

In Texas, is it considered statutory rape when a 16 year old female is with a 21 year old male?

If there were any type of sexual contact between the two people at those ages, the male would be guilty of indecency with a child, a second degree felony. This carries a 2-20 year sentence, and up to a $10,000 fine, as well as mandatory registration as a sex offender upon release.
