If they have "probable cause", yes.
If a minor engaged in normal daily activity, a warrant and/or parental notification would be required. If Principal Skinner is found dead of a gunshot wound in the girl's toilet, and 11-year-old Betty is seen running out of the door with gunpowder marks on her hands, you can assume 'probable cause' gives law enforcement whatever leeway they need to prevent further bloodshed...

Police in any of the states have to have probable cause to initiate an action. It takes consent to authorize a search. Consent is the key word. If you have any eye-witnesses -- most assuredly, or if you have the confidence no Consent was pro-offered, this sounds like a case that should be legally challenged. I'm no lawyer. You'll have to look through you phone book and call around.

Depends on Texas law. I would say it is inappropriate though.

Texas is nothing to play with.. They do what they want to do, unless your very, very rich.
