Who you'll meet, and what it costs
Joining, building a profile and browsing are free; reading and replying to messages needs a paid membership, and the prices page lists the options. Prices are in US dollars. Checkout shows the billing name that will appear on your card statement, and memberships renew until you cancel in Settings > Billing. You must be 18 or over to join. Because profiles are shared with partner sites in the same network, some people you hear from will have joined through another site.
The law in Texas
Adultery is not a crime in Texas. It does still matter in divorce. A Texas court can grant a divorce "without regard to fault" if the marriage has become insupportable (Family Code section 6.001), but adultery is also a ground in its own right (section 6.003). Texas family lawyers note that in a fault-based divorce, a judge can take infidelity into account when dividing community property. This isn't legal advice; if either of you is considering divorce, speak to a Texas family lawyer first.

If someone tries to scam or threaten you

- 911 if you are in danger or a crime is happening now.
