Its The Law In Texas Contracts With Minors
Texas law regards a minor as unable to form binding contracts until age 21. Contracts by minors are voidable, giving the minor the right to disaffirm before 21 or shortly after. Adults contracting with minors bear duties to verify age, as disaffirmance can undo deals such as deeds mortgages employment or vehicle purchases. Ratification occurs if the minor acts beyond a reasonable time after 21 or uses purchased property, making the contract binding. This column offers information, not legal advice.
