At this stage, the child is treated the same as a person renting a room. If they do not abide by the rules, they find their own place. In Texas, a 16 year old can rent an apartment. You cannot force them to do anything unless you have a lease written out that stipulates responsibilities and rules. Pretty much, despite the fact that most 19 year old children are not responsible enough to make their own decisions, legally, parents have no say once they turn 18...However, if the child is mentally disabled or learning impaired, a parent that gets power of attorney has all rights over the child.
