AUSTIN -- Proposed legislation meant to curb "sexting" among teens would punish minors who send nude sexual pictures to each other, but would ease the current law that makes doing so a felony offense.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on Monday endorsed Sen. Kirk Watson’s legislation that would make sexting a Class C misdemeanor for first-time violators who are younger than 18. A judge would also be authorized to order the convicted minors and their parents to participate in a sexting education and awareness program.
