Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I think you should talk to your parents.

Your heart is definitely in the right place. Unfortunately, your parents could be held liable for your actions since you are 12. You don't want anything to happen to them.

If your friend is in danger or thinking of trying to live on the streets, I would encourage you to talk to an adult. The "streets" are not friendly & it is very dangerous on the streets. If your friend is around your age, there are very bad people that might rape or use your friend to sell drugs and/or prostitute. At 12, you have no idea how dangerous the streets are for teenagers. No matter how bad a teenager's home life is, I have found that the streets are usually much worst.
