OK here is what i know after a lot of research and you can tell a cop this. A letter from the attorney general says the definition of a few things. 1. It is stated that the definition of a child is "person over the age of 10 but under the age of 17". according to that definition a 17 year old is not a child. The definition of a runaway according to the attorney general is "a child who has left home voluntarily without parental consent with no intent to return. once again a 17 year old can not be a runaway if you have to be a child to be considered a runaway. second a missing child report wont work either. once again its for a child. A missing persons report is geared toward adults and doesn't require any action by the police to bring you home if you are located and reasonably safe. hope that helps.
This does not mean that a 17 year old is considered an adult. Nor does it change any other laws. There is a law that makes harboring a runaway illegal.
"A person commits an offense if he knowingly harbors a child and he is criminally negligent about whether the child.... is younger than 18 years; and... 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."
Even though it is legal to move out at 17, it is not legal for someone to allow a 17 year old to live with them, other than certain family members. Namely the "actor was related to the child within the second degree by consanguinity or affinity".
Brother, sister, grandparent, or grandchild are examples of relatives in the second degree.

What happens when a teen would break the Texas Labor Law?
In Texas, if a teen violates labor laws, it's usually the employer who faces the consequences, not the minor. Employers can be fined up to $10,000 per violation by the Texas Workforce Commission! Most common issues include working too many hours, doing hazardous jobs, or working without the proper permits. If a teen is found working in violation of these laws, the employer might have to terminate them to stay compliant. For teens, it won’t lead to legal trouble, but it could mean losing their job and affecting future employment opportunities. Texas has strict rules, especially for those under 16, to ensure school and health aren't compromised.
