Can a 17 year old high school graduate legally move out of her parents home in Texas?
Graduating high school does not emancipate a minor. She’s still a minor–and under Mom and Dad’s control–until she turns 18. If, however, Mom and Dad give her permission to move out, then she can (for example, lots of 17-year-olds leave home to attend college). But in that situation, Mom and Dad are still legally responsible for her.
