Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
age to move out
i know the legal age in NE is 19 but if
my friend visited TX where the legal
age is 17 could they legally stay and
get their own place and their
parents not be able to do anything
because they are in the border of TX
and they are 17, the legal age?

Re: age to move out
That depends upon whether NE willing to issue a capias for the kid's return, and if they are willing to come to Texas to pick her/him up.
It also begs the question of, how is a 17 yr old going to establish residence in Texas, since they can't sign a contract or lease until they are 18 years old? Without establishing residence, it just verifies the NE runaway status.
