Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

this may be long and im sorry.. my mom kicked me out a couple years ago, since then the people who have took me in have been harrassed by my mother.. she has not given a penny to help support me, and she keeps my dads child support, she still claims me on food stamps, and income tax, but still doesnt give me a dime, and she has threaten to cut off any source of money that is helping me with school, & my needs.. the only source i have of course is ssi, which she put me on from when I was a child.. so i have no idea why i get it. anyways, she says she doesnt have to give me anything because she gave the lady i stay with power of atterney.. but she also says that the lady i live with can not claim me on anything such as medicaid, food stamps, income tax, etc..

i honestly dont care if my mother pays for any of my expensinces.. i just dont like that she has control over me when she has nothing to do with me..

to get to my question, i was wondering where and what i can do to make all this stop? i want to get emanciapted from her, but i dont know where to start to do that.. i just need a start to get away from her grip.. im 16, 17 in december.. what can i do?

You need to write letters (PAPER letters - put dates on them - keep copies - NO EMAILS) to the following folks:

1. The attorney general of Texas.

2. Your father.

3. The court that rendered the last order.

Tell them what you told me.
