Can a minor be served a court summons in Texas without parents present?

In Texas, a "child" is a person below the age of 18 who is not otherwise emancipated by being married, enlisted in the military, or had their disability (i.e., childhood) removed by a competent court of law. As such, a "child" cannot be forced to attend court without a parent(s), a guardian, or a court appointed attorney ad litem. To force a child to come to court, the parent, guardian, or court appointed attorney ad litem is served with the a "subpoena duces tecum" and that person is ordered to produce the "child" in court for examination, much like having a person bring a paper or other object to court. So, in English - No, a minor cannot be served a court summons in Texas without parents (or guardian) present in court, nor can a child be compelled by the court or held in contempt for failure to appear if the service is upon the child only. The parent or guardian CAN be punished for failing to bring the child to court, however, including being held in contempt of court and put into jail or fined or both.


Can a 17 year old decide where she wants to live in sc?

No, not without permission from the court, unless the child files for and is granted legal emancipation. The age of majority in SC, when a child can decide where to live without court intervention or permission from the custodial parent, is 18. However, the child does have the right to make their preferences known to the judge in charge of deciding or modifying custody, either via a letter to the court, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court indicating their preferences. The older the child, the more weight generally given to their preference, unless living with the other parent would not be, in the opinion of the court, in the child's best interests.
