Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I'm 18 yrs old and my girlfriend is 16. She recently told her parents she was, i guess you could say gay, and they beat her. She had bruises on her back to her legs. They also poured hot sauce down her throat. slapped her, and pulled her by her hair. Is there any legal way I can get her out of there? Emancipation or divorce? She is not happy at all. Always depressed, and literally just wants to get out of there. I'm doing this only for her safety and because I love her.

Your girlfriend needs to report her abuse to the police or at least a teacher, counselor, school nurse, or pastor. Probably better if you stay out of things as much as possible.
