The age of majority is 18. That's when you're considered a legal adult and you can make all your own decisions. In some cases a minor can be legally emancipated. You would want to contact a family lawyer in your local area to ask about this. Otherwise you can't leave home without parental permission until you are 18-years-old. In Texas, however, there may be a loophole for 17-year-olds. Police in Texas will apparently not return you to your parents at 17 in most situations.
