Not in Texas. If one party is 14-16 years old and the other party is less than three years age difference then it is legal in Texas. If both parties are 17 or older, independent of age difference, it is legal (assuming no legal relationship that bars those two from engaging in such behavior).

I was going to mention the "Romeo and Juliet" law but Hoi Polloi beat me to it.

You are right. The DPS sex offender database has a place where you can see what he was convicted of. Touch base with your local LE agency and verify he's registered at the address he's living at. Also, if you suspect he's doing illegal things he's in violation of his parole and most agencies will be more than happy to put him back where he belongs.

A good friend of mine is the Sex Offender officer for a local PD she gets a great sense of satisfaction in doing her job well from sending a sex offender back to prison.
