No, they cannot move out without parental permission. The key here is the age of majority (adulthood) in Texas. If they are in an unsafe place, contact social services to get assistance.

Can a 17-year-old move out of his parents' house into another relative's house like a grandparent or aunt in Texas?

Probably. The legal age of majority is 18 but apparently Texas police won't generally force a 17-year-old to move back in with their parents. If you leave home without parental consent, then anyone who takes you in--even if they are a relative--can be facing charges for doing so. Texas does have laws against harboring a runaway. There could possibly be other charges as well.

What are the chances of a maternal uncle getting of his niece from unmarried parents who are endangering her by not tending to her well being?

Taking a child from her parents, married or not is irrelevant, is not something they do easily. If she is in any type of danger it should be reported to the Child Protection Service so they can investigate. Where the child will end up if removed from home is up to the judge. It could be the uncle if he is suitable or another relative. If no relative is found it will be foster home.
