Re: please help- can i move out legally?
High school graduation is irrelevant.
You are an adult on the day you turn 18.
You can do anything you want after you turn 18 and no one can stop you.
(If that last sentence does not scare you, it should!)
If you want to do something sooner, you'll need an attorney in Waco. You can call the Waco Bar Association or the State Bar of Texas located in Austin for referrals. You can also checkout this website for leads.
Good luck!
