in the state of texas 17 is an age of consent which means you can date whoever you want

well first of all… YES you can leave your home in Texas if you are 17! I did and no one can stop you because in Texas 17 is the legal age which you are considered an adult is 17! Don’t let people tell you otherwise cause that is the truth and in the Texas laws!!!

Second! Who is this girl^^^ are you even from Texas? Cause if your not and you don’t know the Texas law maybe you should stay off these forums… Take government honey.. Then go give people advise about laws..

I think you should leave home because im having some problems with my parents and im about to leave with my dog because it seems shes the only one who loves me.Im 9 and I dont know how to escape from my house.

no you cant hun. you get in trouble if you do something against the ( like running away from home without permission) if your under 18 no matter what. bc your considered still a minor if your under 18(duh) hahaha but yeah most likely if you do that you parents will find out theyll call the police and then youll get yourself in trouble with the court your parents and your parents will get introuble too bc they gotta go court blah blah

I been living with my boyfriend for 2 years now I moved out of ma house when I was 17 at first my brother call the cops on me but they couldnt do anything becouse in Texas The legal adulthood is when you 17 so YES you can legally leave home @ 17 just like you go 2 prison when you 17 because your considered an adult @ that age
