No, you have to have reached the age of majority which is 18. However, if you do leave they can not force you back but that is NOT the same thing as legally moving out.
If you leave home at 17 without parental permission and move in with a relative in Texas, your parents can report you as a runaway to the police. However, in Texas, the age of majority is 18, so running away at 17 may not be considered a criminal offense. It would be best to try to resolve any conflicts with your parents or seek legal advice.
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.
In the state of Texas, the legal age of majority is 18. However, there are exceptions where a 17-year-old may be able to move out with parental consent or through legal emancipation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a legal professional to understand the specific circumstances in the East Texas region.
You can't just say they need to grow up because a 17 years old is counted as an adult. You can move out of your parents home if you can prove you can live on your own facially and support yourself with a home. You also need to go to court to get an emancipation which involves some work. You need a good reason to be moving out to get an emancipation.
The legal age for you to move out is 17, but in order for you to move out you must stay in school. State law says that if you do move out your parents cant force you to come back and the police can not do anything about it.

I am not sure about Texas law but I know that in Michigan a 17 year old can move out without consent of their parents. Try googling "emancipation Texas" to see what pops up. If a 17 year old is not allowed to move out without consent of parents in Texas, emancipation is always an option. There are forms that can be found online and if you fill them out and send them in you will get a court date. If you can prove that you can take care of yourself the court will grant you legal custody of yourself even under the age of 18.AnswerI am not sure about Texas law but I know that in Michigan a 17 year old can move out without consent of their parents.

Parents can allow their children to move out at any age.
Under Texas law the police can not take a 17 year old into custody and return them to their parents. BUT anyone they move in with can be charged with harboring a runaway (except certain family members).
