It has been done in some states, but I don't recall hearing that Texas is one of them that will send a parent to jail for the truancy of their child.
Truancy Age 17. Your Mother cannot be held accountable for your truancy!! My Step Daughter who is 16 soon to be 17 can quit school if she wants. I live in Michigan and that is what they do here....
They can fine you and put you in jail for up to 72 hours.
