💙 Consent is respect. Consent is safety. Consent is the law.

In Texas, without a clear “yes,” it’s sexual assault — and that means felony charges, years in prison, and a permanent criminal record.

Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. If someone is asleep, unconscious, intoxicated, or pressured, they cannot legally consent.

Protect your friends. Respect boundaries. Know the law.
