Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I'm 17 year old male. Under Legal Guardianship with my mother. Went on Thanksgiving break to Texas (where my father's business partner is, he is in jail 15 minutes from me right now). Decided to move in with my dads business partner and mom didn't like it. Dad has custody and gets out of jail in 2 weeks max. I'm working on getting registered in 12th grade here. Already registered in Louisiana though.

Problem: Mom is getting police involved to get me to her house, how can I fight this and what can she do?

She can have you dragged back to her house and she can have your father's partner charged with harboring a run-away.

Your father needs to file a motion to modify the parent-child relationship. Otherwise, you might try to file a petition for emancipation. Failing that, you have to wait until you are 18.
