Can you be emancipated at 16

[LocaBonita]

how do you get permission from the court to marry? because my parents wouldn't give me permission

[turbowray]

I don't know the requirements, but the Texas district court is where to go to obtain permission to marry, if you are under 18. I would give them a call, and ask them what you need to do to obtain this permission.

You petition the court for permission. The exact procedures will vary by state. You can ask at the county to see if they have forms, or (if you can't figure out how to draft your own petition without help) consult a local lawyer to assist you. Recall that your ability to ask a court to issue a marriage license does not mean that the court will do so.

[LocaBonita]

so you don't have to have a parents approval in some cases?

I would reread Aaron's post your answer is there. Yes you can but the court approving such a union will be far tougher
