FAQs

Can I stop living with my parents at 17?

In Texas, you cannot legally move out on your own until you turn 18, as that is the age of majority. However, at 17, you may be able to seek emancipation through a court, which would grant you legal independence from your parents. This process requires meeting specific criteria and demonstrating your ability to support yourself.
