Is this true about moving out in Texas?
Find answers to your legal question.

"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."

I came across this on the internet. So could I do that? Like I turn 17 on October 8th. What would I have to make it work?

Unless you are an emancipated Minor or turn 18, an adult is responsible for you. Until you are 18, you cannot enter into contracts. Which means leases and rental agreements. Where are you going to live?

You could move out, and in with friends. As long as your guardians don't file a report, you would be alright. If they do, you could be returned to their care until emancipated or reach your majority.

Would a cop go and pick you up? Probably not, unless they thought you were in danger or were a danger to others.
