Technically, no, you cannot move out without parental permission. The key here is the age of majority (adulthood) in Texas, which is 18. If they are an adult, the parents are no longer responsible.

If you can legally move out in Texas at seventeen do you still need parental consent to be adopted say by your best friend's parents?

If you have been emancipated you can. If you haven't, technically you cannot be adopted at seventeen without consent from them. Also, you're parents cannot kick you out at seventeen. It is illegal to do so until you are eighteen. You should look up emancipation if you have not already, it is when you can legally make your own choices in life and legally move out and pretty much be considered an adult before you turn eighteen. Hope this answers your question pretty well. If not, I hope it provided some insight into different options you may choose.
