Can an un-emancipated 17 year old in Texas move to a different state if they will be continuing education in the next state and have a place to stay?

No, not unless their parents agree to allow it. And even if the parents agree to allow it, an unemancipated minor cannot enroll themselves in school. The parents would have to give custody of the minor to an adult in the other state and then that adult would be the minor's guardian.

Do parents have legal recourse to have their 17-year-old daughter returned to State of Georgia from the State of Michigan where she is now living without their permission?

None, whatsoever. * It is a violation of federal law for a minor to cross state lines without parental permission, (18 USC 2243, 18 USC 2423). The parents can file a petition in the circuit or superior court of their state of residency to have the minor returned to their custody. All states honor such an order and once the authorities with jurisdiction have received the order they will take the minor into custody and remand her into the custody of the home state's juvenile authorities.

In the State of Texas how can a 15-year-old move in with the non custodial parent if the custodial parent refuses the request?

The parent who holds the custodial order is the parent who has the legal right to control all the actions of the child in question. The non custodial parent would need to petition the court in which the original order was made to have custody rights changed or amended so the 15-year-old could legally reside with them. If the minor leaves the home of the custodial parent without permission, said parent has the legal authority by means of the custody order to have the minor child taken into custody and returned to the family residence.
