To "remove disabilities" (emancipate) in Texas, require that you meet certain criteria in Texas. These are in the Texas Family Code which are on-line.
I've been licensed over 19 years. I've only had one girl who qualifed and had the money to do it. She eventually decided to use the money to buy a car instead of hiring me.
It's not easy. Judges don't like it.
You must be self-supporting.
Being resentful is not enough.
Sorry!
