yes its legal from the age of 13, it does not matter what age they are and were, as long as the house is safly locked, my brother was only 15 and he looked after me and my neice.

It depends on the parent's judgement of how ready the child is to be home without an adult. The twelve year old won't be listened to. Best to consider leaving them home for a short time periodically and see how it goes.

Some states have set a minimum age for which children can be left at home alone. Texas has not set a minimum age for leaving children at home, but it is best to consider the maturity and responsibility levels of an individual child before leaving them at home overnight.
check with the police. You will still be legally responsible, if anything bad happens- either done by the child, or done because of your absence you can be charged
In Texas, if a 17-year-old moves out against their parents' wishes, the parents can report the child as a runaway to local law enforcement. However, there are limited legal options available to compel the child to return home since the age of majority in Texas is 18. It is recommended for parents to seek legal advice in such situations.
No, it is illegal. So: under adult supervision, yes.
A 12 year old can baby sit
