19yr old male -16yr old female -no sex of any kind

Texas

Is it legal for a step-dad that does not claim his step child to press charges on a 19 year old male who is casually seeing the step-daughter who is 16 if the birthday of the male is 8/16/87 and the step-daughter's birthday is 1/22/91? Can anyone at all press charges on the male if the daughter does not want to, being that sex of any kind was never initiated? The male now lives over 300 miles away, and the two still want to be a 'couple.'

Yes, it is legal for the step-dad to file a complaint with police.
If any state laws have been violated, it would be up to the prosecuting attorney to determine if charges will be filed.

If it's determined through an investigation that there was no sexual contact, no charges would be filed. If it's determined that sexual contact did take place with a minor under the age of 17 and there is more than 3 years (36 months) between the two of you in age, you could be found in violation of 21.11.
