I agree to some extent with the previous answer you were given. However, if you are already in Texas then you can leave already. At the age of 17 you are not a child anymore. Ages 10 to under 17 you are a child. Meaning, if you're 17 then you are not a child!!! OK here is what i know after a lot of research and you can tell a cop this. A letter from the attorney general says the definition of a few things. 1. It is stated that the definition of a child is "person over the age of 10 but under the age of 17". according to that definition a 17 year old is not a child. The definition of a runaway according to the attorney general is "a child who has left home voluntarily without parental consent with no intent to return. once again a 17 year old can not be a runaway if you have to be a child to be considered a runaway. second a missing child report wont work either. once again its for a child. A missing persons report is geared toward adults and doesn't require any action by the police to bring you home if you are located and reasonably safe. hope that helps. The link below shows who I got this information from. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Contributions&target=ip:ID3517535221

If you went to boot camp with your parents' consent and became legally emancipated and got sent home for medical reasons would you still be legally emancipated now that you're home and still under 18?

That's a question for an attorney in the state in which you were emancipated. However, assuming the emancipation was not conditional (such as you remaining in the service), you probably are. The real question is this: If you're emancipated, what are you calling "home?" If what you're referring to as "home" is where your parents live, an emancipated individual would be a guest in their home and obviously could be invited to remain (or not) at their pleasure.
