Yes, Texas has a mutual combat law (Texas Penal Code § 22.06) that allows consenting adults to fight each other, but this defense to assault charges does not apply if serious bodily injury is inflicted or if weapons are used. The law requires a mutual, voluntary agreement to fight with sound minds, without coercion, and the consent must be given with the understanding of the risks involved. However, this defense is not valid in public places or as a condition of joining a criminal street gang. #
