16 Year Old Wanting To Get Emancipated

Ok so im a 16 year old living in texas. Well i live with my dad and step mom. Just 2 months ago my mom passed away. I lived with her in Georgia. Well the day after my mom funeral my dad packed all of my stuff up and he drove me to texas. He refuese to let me see my friends that i didnt even get to say good bye to.

My moms boyfriend helped my mom write a will and in the will in stated that after my mother passes my aunt would be my legal guardian.

And also in my dad and mom got divorced my mom got full costudy of me and ny sister. So i dont understand how him taking me is not agianst the law?

I have a car and am getting my license and a job.
I also wanted to know if i get emancipated in texas could i move out of the state of texas?

Please i need to get emancipated as soon as i turn 17. Im in deep depression and my dad dosent want to get me help.

You mention no job
You mention no place to live
You mention no means of self support
You mention nothing about continued education
Last and most important you mention no sound reason for emancipation

my dad has me practically on house arrest.
he abused my mothes when they were married.

i will be getting a job soon.
if my aunt is my legal guardian by law she will let me move back to where i lived with my moms bf.
he lived with us before my mom died.
i would have a job. i did before i moved up here for a whole year.i got a job when i was 15 and i wanted to be independant.
i would continue going to school at the school i used to go to.
so yes i have means for emancipation because im not gonna live my life with my abusive father when i should be happy with people who care about me.

Not needed unless your seeking emancipation which was already discussed

that would be up to a court but the likihood the court would approve you live with a "legal" stranger is almost zero

You dont have the job yet so nothing else matters in regards to emancipation

i know but i will have a job by the time i file for emancipation.
which will be when i turn 17.

i can not get one yet and have to wait to get my car before i can get emancipated.

so put it to me in plan simple terms?

what so i need to have accomplished by the time i turn 17?
