Yes, he served as a Private and rose to the rank of Lieutenant during the War of 1812. He was wounded three times at the Battle of Horshoe Bend. In 1818 while serving as a Tennessee criminal prosecutor he had a command in the State Militia.

Are there any famous artists from Texas?
The two most famous artists I know of from Texas are Terrence Malick and Jeffrey Dale Starr (although, Malick is technically a director and Starr lived a long time in San Francisco). I think Georgia O'Keeffe may have lived in Texas for a while too.
Addition:
No, when Georgia O'Keeffe moved south it was to New Mexico.
Well, what about this quote of Georgia O'Keeffe, Texas September 1916:
- Today I walked into the sunset - to mail some letters - … …But some way or other I didn't seem to like the redness much so after I mailed the letters I walked home - and kept walking - The Eastern sky was all grey blue - bunches of clouds - different kinds of clouds - sticking around everywhere and the whole thing - lit up - first in one place - then in another with flashes of lightning - sometimes just sheet lightning - and some times sheet lightning with a sharp bright zigzag flashing across it -. I walked out past the last house - past the last locust tree - and sat on the fence for a long time - looking - just looking at - the lightning - you see there was nothing but sky and flat prairie land - land that seems more like the ocean than anything else I know - There was a wonderful moon. Well I just sat there and had a great time by myself - Not even many night noises - just the wind -… …I wondered what you were doing - It is absurd the way I love this country - Then when I came back - it was funny - roads just shoot across blocks anywhere - all the houses looked alike - and I almost got lost - I had to laugh at myself - I couldn't tell which house was home - I am loving the plains more than ever it seems - and the SKY - Anita you have never seen SKY - it is wonderful.
* artist quotations from a letter to Anita Pollitzer, Canyon Texas, September 11, 1916; as quoted in "The Complete Correspondence of Georgia O'Keeffe & Anita Pollitzer", ed. Clive Giboire, Touchstone Book, Simon & Schuster Inc. New York 1990, p. 145
What is legal age of a child to make their own decision on custody rights?
In the USA a child is legally recognized as an adult at the age of 18. Which means they can move out, make their own decisions without you having to be held legally liable if they make bad ones, and do whatever they choose to do without anyone elses consent within the statutes of the laws of the state and community their in. Although most kids are thinking about "getting out on their own", they sometimes don't stop to realize that not only are they "legal", but they're legally responsible, and nobody else will be held just that if they make a mistake. Parents are no longer held responsible to provide anything to their (adult)child once they reach the age of 18, not room & board, food, money, transportation, clothes, etc...nothing. It's on a "choose to help basis" for the parent. So if you're a person under the age of 18...don't burn your bridges, because you might need to cross back over them someday. If you're a child in a bad situation being hurt or victimized in some kind of way, find an adult you can trust (school teacher, doctor, police, child protective services)and ask for help, If you're a parent...good luck. There are "arrangements" that can be decided by both your family and/or the court system. 1.) If the child wants to move out, and/or you agree, you can agree to "temporary guardianship" to another adult, which means you're still have "custody", but gives them the right to house, feed, cloth, support, and seek medical attn. for your minor child. This can be revoked by you with no reasons provided to the courts or anyone else within one (1) year, if any longer, there are two ways to legally retain your child- A.) the person which you deemed "temporary gardian" goes to the court & cancels the order, which would place the child back with you automatically, or B.)you go to the court where you originally made the order and provide to them why the child should come back home (usually they don't object since you were originally the one to give the "temp" order. 2.) if you're a single parent having "custody proceedings" in court(usually they require you to 1st seek some kind of mediation, to see if both sides can make some kind of reasonable agreement), they will hear both parents, and if the court feels necessary, they will request to hear the minor child(if child is 12 or older), and put into consideration when making their decision, where the child wants to live & why, along with everything they've heard from both sides (and any character witnesses they might've heard. 3.) If you have an "incoridiable" child, you can seek assistance from your local Juvenile Court and let them know what's going on, and they will be more then happy to provide you with some resources to help you with your situation. Whatever's going on...Good Luck.
