17yrs old w/ Questions.

California

I am 17 years old, and living with my parents. I recently heard news that
once you are 17, in the state of Texas you are allowed to be on your own.
I didn't quite understand the details and whatnot, so I am asking for advice.

My situation currently is.. I live in California, I am with my parents in a motel.
On Oct. 20th I am taking the CHSPE test to get out of Highschool.
From there, I am planning to enroll in a semester of community college,
whichever is near me at the time. I am also hoping to aquire a part-time job.

What I am wondering is.. Is it a possibility for me to move to Texas after
I pass this test? Technically, I'm hoping to finish a semester or so of
Community college and transfer over to somewhere in Texas.
I don't have any actual plans yet on furthermore subjects.
I wanted to make sure it was possible, or what was possible before
jumping ahead of myself.

I'm new to this type of forum, so I'm hoping replies are fast.
If anyone out there could answer my questions,
or just point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time and consideration

Much Appreciation,

You need to abide by CA's laws.

You've waited 17 years, you can wait a little while longer.

Not to mention that what you have heard is wrong.

But even if it was right, you live in CA. CA does NOT allow you to move out at 17 without permission. So what Texas might allow, even if it did, which it doesn't, is irrelevant.

Ah.. Alright then. That's why I came on here;
To make sure I had the right facts. Thank you
for clearing things up for me. I wouldn't want
to have left and then be caught up in some mess.
I guess I'm just gonna have to wait out my last
year of teenage-hood. lol

Thank you once again!

the other problem you would run into is the residency rules that colleges abide by. You've been a California resident .... Texas school would charge you out-of-state.
