check with the police. You will still be legally responsible, if anything bad happens- either done by the child, or done because of your absence you can be charged
There is currently no laws outlining the minimum age a child can stay home alone overnight in Texas. It is left up to the parents to make that decision.
you must be 12 to stay home alone
There is no set legal age in Texas. You have to look at things like the ability of the child, length of time they will be alone, ability to seek help if needed, safety of the neighborhood, etc.
12 in Indiana, but there are time restrictions with that. In Canada a child at the age of 11 years can go to a home alone course and after that they can stay home alone.
Some states have set a minimum age for which children can be left at home alone. Texas has not set a minimum age for leaving children at home, but it is best to consider the maturity and responsibility levels of an individual child before leaving them at home overnight.

Is the neighbor in the house with them? If not, then your child should be 10years old before they can stay at home alone!!!

Children can stay home alone for a few hours with access to an adult at the age of 12. Children below the age of 12 cannot stay home alone for any length of time.?
yes
In the US the legal age to stay home alone, is 13.
they will do nothing
According to Maryland.gov, you cannot be forced to stay home alone against your own will. Even your parents cannot force you.
I do not think that is something that is regulated by the laws. A good parent would be sure that a child was responsible enough to do that. IT is left to the parent's judgement but if it were me, I wouldn't allow any child under 15 to stay home alone and that would be ONLY in a time of actual need.
