A 17-year-old can not get married in Texas without parental consent unless they have court approval. That's going to be hard to get if your parents object and your only reason is because "we don't want to wait another year until I'm 18".
As far as moving out, anyone under the age of 18 is a minor and therefore under the control and authority of their parents, which means the parents decide where you live. There is a big difference between moving out on your own (into your own place and fully supporting yourself) and moving in with a boyfriend. I'm willing to bet that if your parents scream loudly enough about it, then they can get something done. For example, Texas has laws that cover: Enticing a child (intent to interfere with the lawful custody of a child younger than 18), Harboring runaway child (knowingly harboring a child who is younger than 18 and who is voluntarily absent from their home without the consent of their parent or guardian for a substantial length of time or without the intent to return), Interference with rights of guardian of the person (takes, retains, or conceals a ward when the person knows that by doing so it interferes with the right of a guardian of the person to have physical possession of a ward and to establish the ward's legal domicile).
But, I'm not an attorney.

∙ 8y agoThere is no state that will allow a 17-year-old to get married without parental consent/court approval/special circumstances. In one more year you'll be 18 and then you can get married in any state without parental consent, with the exception of Mississippi (where you have to be 21) and Nebraska (where you have to be 19).

∙ 9y agoIt is totally okay for a 17 year old to date an 18 year old. You are both old enough to know if the relationship will be good for you.
You can DATE the guy, yes. Anything beyond that could have legal repercussions for the 18 year old.

No. It may be illegal for you to have sex with him and since it is your parents house you can't legally move the boyfriend in without their permission but it's not illegal for him to live there. If he is also a minor and his parents don't want him to move in there could be problems.
