The Texas Family Code Chapter 31 deals with 'Removal of Disabilities of Minority' - which is basically 'emancipation'. You must be 17, or 16 and living apart and be financially self-supporting. That is the simple, but incomplete answer. If this is a personal issue for you, go to the related link below to see the relevant Texas Statute.
