Legally, you cannot get into trouble. Morally, your parents are trying to look out for your well being. If you are living with them, you should respect their home. They are not doing it to make you mad. They love you and want you safe. It is going to be hard enough to see you go off to college, so until then, respect them and love them. You will regret it if there is friction between you.

If you want to be an adult, get your own place.

Nope... But they can have you kicked from their house legally.


Your parents love you they just don't want you getting hurt... Thats all...

Legally, you are now a guest in their house - you can live there as long as they choose to let you. They cannot legally enforce a curfew on you, but you also have no legal recourse if you come home, find the locks have been changed and your possessions on the front lawn.

Oh come on... Can't you just behave like the rest of us and act like an adult and do what you're told for once? It's morons like you that give all teenagers a bad rep. Treat people how you want to be treated, show you are responsible and then your folks will give you more choices in matters such as these.

And I can't believe that if you are 18 and a guest in their house, that you'd do something to make them mad. They can throw you out or have you removed by the police.

They can kick you, since you are an adult, they cant really report you as a run away.

I woudl follow their rules, it wont be much longer and you will save your relationship with them from many hardships.

Your parents will be the ones who will always be there for you when everyone lese abandons you

Until you have a job and pay your own bills and mortgage you have to listen to Mom and Dad. That's just the way life is.

My house, my rules. Your rules, move out.

You have the right to move out, but as long as you live under their roof it is their rules.

So in other words if you do not like the rules move out. If you can not afford it then oh well.

DO WHAT YOUR PARENTS TELL YOU!!! If you had been doing this all along then you wouldn't be on probation, supervised or not. If you're not going to abide by your parents rules, then go support yourself and pay for your own schooling and food, and all that. If you want to act like you're grown and don't need your parents, then do it. Go get a house, a car, and a job and support yourself. You're not as "grown" as you think you are!

The "curfew" in this case is a kind of house rule. Your parents would have no reason to call the police and, if they did, the police would not do anything. Whether or not you abide by this or any other house rule is between you and you parents. It is more about respect than anything else.

By law they can not kick you out they have to go down to the court house and have you evicted Its not as easy as everyone think it is , If you don't believe me ask a cop. hope this helps.

Legally... yes you are. But be ever so careful... (Poppa Spank!)

If you are still living under their roof and they are paying your way then you have to obey their rules. I don't know what the laws are in Texas but they can lock you out of the house and have no ill effects from it in other states.

unless the police believe that your are in danger they will not intervene in this matter.

18 and in texas eh?...which part

houston...too far of a drive...

Legally an adult, eh? I love this! Really? Since you're legally an adult...you should legally move out...legally support yourself...legally pay your own bills. Then you can make all the rules. Chances are...after working 2 or 3 jobs to support yourself in this economy (considering you have only a HS education at the moment) You'll be too exhausted to stay out all night. But good luck!
