Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

In the State of Texas, you are a minor child.

You have no legal rights until you are 18.

You cannot do anything unless your parents (or legal guardian) give you permission.

In fact, even the money you earn technically belongs to your parents. Scary - right!

Everything you have - your clothes, your phone, your computer, etc. belong to parents (or legal guardian). Unless you inherit it or it was gifted to you, you have nothing.

And, for criminal purposes, you are an adult at the age of 17 -- but for civil purposes you are not an adult until 18.

Talk to a school counselor, minister, your doctor, school nurse, or someone you trust about your troubles. Get some counseling. Do good in school so that you can get a good job when you graduate from high school.

Good luck.
