Example- At 17 you can see R movies and move out if parents don't care or sign papers. At 18 you are granted the right to vote and buy tobacco, but what comes with being 17- what rights are granted without any court orders? I've been arguing this and have heard more than one answer. I've tried looking in the Texas Family Code but don't know which part to read; if you could tell me the restrictions lifted and where you found the answer on a site that's not ".com", it would be appreciated.

Nothing significant is granted to one who turns 17 unlike when turning 18.

Ah, you live in Texas. Did you know that if you break the law here, you are considered an adult at 17. In civil cases, however, you have to wait until you turn 18.
