Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I'm a 17 year old girl wishing to move out of my parents house into a new state. I have no job at the moment but I have a place to stay and support until I can get up to where I want to be and get a job. If I move out up to Oklahoma from Texas can my parents legally do anything?

You will need to find out what the age restrictions are in the state of Oklahoma. Once you are 17 in Texas, you will not be charged with being a runaway, IF there are no outstanding court orders that restrict your residence or education. In Texas, you are not a missing person, if the local police have been notified of your whereabouts. Oklahoma may have different laws.
