Summary
In Texas, employment is a factor in emancipation cases, but not the only one. Proving financial independence is crucial, even if parents prevent job access. Relying on friends for support may not suffice. Courts require stable financial support and the ability to manage ones own affairs. If a teen runs away and returns after turning 18, they are legally considered an adult with no legal consequences for running away. Theft limits vary by state, with specific thresholds for misdemeanors and felonies in Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Nebraska. Consider seeking guidance from legal aid organizations or trusted community resources for more information.Full Conversation
