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.

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.

Does a 17-year-old who moved in with his mother in Texas after being kicked out of his custodial father's house have to live with his mother until he is 18.?

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.
