graduating high school has nothing to do with it. however i know for a FACT that you can move out at 17 in the state of Texas. im a texan myself and i have a had several friends do it and i actually got into some trouble with the law a while back. you are considered a legal adult at 17 in texas. I believe it is either 16 or 18 The fact that you've graduated does not change the fact that you are a minor until the age of 18. However, you could petition the court for emancipation.

∙ 15y agoGraduating high school does not emancipate a minor. She's still a minor--and under Mom and Dad's control--until she turns 18. If, however, Mom and Dad give her permission to move out, then she can (for example, lots of 17-year-olds leave home to attend college). But in that situation, Mom and Dad are still legally responsible for her.

∙ 14y agoIn Texas, for a minor to live separately from the parents and have the right to contract-meaning buy cars and rent apartments-the child must go through a court procedure called Removal of Disabilities of a Minor. The law requires that the child requesting Removal of Disabilities of a Minor by the court show: 1) that the minor is at least 16 years old, living separate from the parents, and, 2) the minor is self-supporting and managing his/her own affairs. Reference Texas Family Code section 31.001. See: http://www.legalhelpinntx.com/law_office/faq/child-divorce-the-parents.html

Can you legally move out in Texas at 16?
In Texas, a minor cannot move out legally until they turn 18, unless they are legally emancipated by a court. Emancipation typically requires the minor to show they can support themselves financially and are able to make decisions independently.
Can your parents keep you out of state if your 17 against your will and not let you back to Texas where you and your family lives?
Unless you are legally emancipated, you're parents have control over where you go to school, what state you live in, etc. If you are 17, it is most likely that you aren't emancipated yet, and your parents have complete power over where you live. You could take this issue to court and do what you can to be legally emancipated before the age of 18, and you'd be able to live wherever you wanted to.

In Texas, a minor is considered emancipated if they are married, in the military, or declared legally independent by a court. Otherwise, a 17-year-old would typically need parental consent or permission from a court to move out legally.

Yes, I believe this is the case across the U.S., except possibly Texas. Apparently in Texas the police will not force 17-year-olds to return to their parents. Another option is to get legally emancipated by a court.

In Texas, a minor who is 16 years old cannot legally leave their parents without their consent. The age of majority in Texas is 18, so minors are considered to be under the legal control of their parents until then. If a minor leaves home without permission, it could be considered a status offense unless they are emancipated by a court.
