The legal age in texas is 17. I am 17 and moved out of a good home just wanted to be on my own, parent was against it completely. The police asked me to call and tell my mother where i was and that i was okay. The police cannot take you unless there is proof that you are unsafe, or unable to care for yourself. I know many people who hate their fanily life and I would suggest that you have a good place to live and really think about what is best for you in the long run. from website above

No there is nothing they can really do to stop you, but do you have a place to stay and the $$ to strike out on your own. Not uncommon for young adults 17yrs old to leave home in the US, do to the closeness of 18th birthdays states do not waste already limited rescources to interfer with an individuals choice to move out a bit early.

You're only 17, so reconsider moving out. If you moved out, you have to wonder about how are you going to support yourself? Where will you live? Is the place you're thinking of going really better than where you are, or is it just different? If things feel that bad at home (and it's normal to want to just run away from problems---usually not a good idea though), try to talk to your folks about the effect their "hanging it over you" is having on you and see if you can make them understand that you get the message that you messed up and now need support. I'm assuming of course, that you have not messed up since the original mess up you mention. Don't do anything stupid or rash...just say to yourself, "This too shall pass" and it usually does. Parents harp on their kids because they worry about them and are concerned. Don't mistake attempts at guidance for them not liking you or caring about you.

If you think you know all your facts why the hell are you posting your question? Are you trying to find someone to codone what you want to do. If you think your grown enough then go but once you leave your parents house remember they are no longer responsible for you and that includes but is not limited to food, clothing, shelter, education or transportation. Furthermore in Texas my mother as a police officer for almost 20 yrs returned many many many 17yr olds to their families listed as "runaways" or "welfair concerns" and its not hard to prove a child is in danger if they are a minor and not living in a home with responsible adults

I believe you have to be 18 to do what you want. Until then, you have to abide by your parents wishes and rules. I know right now it seems so horrible, but when you get older you will realize your parents only love you. If they didn't love you, they would never be there for you and leave you isolated. I suggest you talk to your guidance concealer at school to help pull you through this. You need to vent to someone who will advice and direct you.
