Answer

Re: family code


If the parents don't care, I don't see why not.



However, most apt. complexes won't rent to you since you are under 18 and unable to sign a contract.



You can try to emancipate in TX. You have to fulfill certain criteria. Also, your parents have to agree. One parent would have to signed a notarized document to be filed with the court.



Cost - filing fee approx. $250 then attorney fees of at least $750.
