Leaving home at 17 in Texas?

Answer 1

Art. 63.001. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:

(1) "Child" means a person under 18 years of age.

(2) "Missing[0] person[0]" means a person[0] 18 years old or older

whose disappearance is possibly not voluntary.

(3) "Missing[0] child" means a child whose whereabouts are

unknown to the child's legal custodian, the circumstances of whose

absence indicate that:

(A) the child did not voluntarily leave the care and control

of the custodian, and the taking of the child was not authorized by

law;

(B) the child voluntarily left the care and control of his

legal custodian without the custodian's consent and without intent

to return; or

THIS IS FROM THE CURRENT STATUES AND LAWS IN THE STATE OF Texas A PARENT REFER TO (B) § 25.06. HARBORING RUNAWAY[0] CHILD. (a) A person commits

an offense if he knowingly harbors a child and he is criminally

negligent about whether the child:

(1) is younger than 18 years; and

(2) has escaped from the custody of a peace officer, a

probation officer, the Texas Youth Council, or a detention facility

for children, or is voluntarily absent from the child's home

without the consent of the child's parent or guardian for a

substantial length of time or without the intent to return.

THERE IS A LOT MORE, BUT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IF YOUR PARENTS SAY NO THEY DO HAVE LEGAL RECOURSE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER LAWS INCLUDING THE REQUIREMENT OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO OBTAIN AND TRANSPORT A KNOWN MISSING PERSON UNDER 18 BACK TO THE HANDS OF THE PARENTS. MANY OFFICERS ARE NOT CLEAR ON THE LAW. 17 IS NOT ALWAYS A MAGIC NUMBER AS MANY MISTAKINGLY BELIEVE.

Answer 2

I think that a teenager with 17 years of age should leave his/her home when they are legally married, because i think that the home of his/her parents is a home of safety and because there are rules that should be completed. And because his/her parents are going to be the best friends they are ever going to have. And the parents will also want everything good for their daughter/son.
