Becoming "Financially Self-Sufficient"

[like.scarlet]

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Texas

I have a job and am earning a pay check. I'm 16, will be 17 in December.
When I'm 17, do I still have to be living separate from my parents in order to be considered financially sufficient?
My parents won't allow me to move out.
My parents won't approve of my petition for emancipation.
Could this be considered as a circumstance where the attorney can sign the petition for me instead?
I want to move out, and that is why I want to be emancipated, so that I can sign contracts to get an apartment.
I have called CPS and reported abuse once. The police came to our house to check on the welfare of the children once. They didn't do anything.
Is there any way I can get emancipated, get an apartment, and finish my senior year of high school somewhere away from my parents?
I really appreciate any advice you have.

My parents won't approve of my petition for emancipation.

Then you're done. If they say No, it's over.

That which you've highlighted in red? Doesn't apply to you. You know precisely where your parents are.
