The technical name is Bone Age. It involves more x-rays than just the wrist and can be used medically in cases of delayed or precocious puberty when compared to the known age. It is often not a true measure of chronological age. I’m skeptical it would work in this instance. If the woman-child says she’s 17 but her bone age is 14, defense could argue delayed development.

Yep, the could easily argue delayed development via pour nutrition etc. Again, it’s amazing how easy it is to blur lines....

thanks for the information.

It would be an argument for probable cause to go further.

folks, the family law of texas can be found for free at http://www.findlaw.com

go in the “for professionals” section and look for texas under state codes and statutes.
