12 years old!!

Nope, sorry - 12 is incorrect. There is no age limit set by law.

But see my answer in another thread (copied and edited here for your convenience):

The new law is that children under 8 years old who are not 4'9" tall must be restrained in a car seat/booster seat; if they meet either of those two measures, they are not legally required to be in a booster seat. However, there is no law in Texas concerning the age at which a child may legally sit in the front seat. There are guidelines based upon the restraint systems (many restraint systems do not permit use in the front seat). It is also suggested that children under 13 should not sit in a front seat equipped with an airbag.

Texas has no preference for rear seat. It only states that they must be in a child seat if they are 7 years and younger and less than 57 inches. Adult safety belt is not permissible.

Just a bonus, the maximum first time fine is $25.

You have to be at least 10 years old to sit in the passenger seat in Texas. But you have to know that you might DIE if you don't have your seat belt.
