You probably need to expand on this a little more...more details get better and more accurate answers.

... "home owners association office or home buyers office???" Please explain the circumstance. Is there a court order here?

Why would a HOA or home buyers office be involved? Please explain the circumstances as requested.

Please vastly clarify your question, as it makes little sense as stated.

Oh OK
Because the home buyers office people are the one giving the house to the owner. And the HOA deals with many kinds of problems. That's why.

So what does all this have to do with a 16 yr. old moving out?

If there is a pending court case pertaining to the child, I can imagine (I suppose, but even that is a stretch) circumstances under which parental consent to the child leaving his or home might be sent to the court involved. But I have no idea why either a HOA or a "home buyer's office" (whatever that is) would be involved.

Please give more information so that we can give you accurate advice.
Laws vary by location so we need to know what state/territory or country you are in. We also need to know what your parents are giving consent for and to whom they are giving it.

Are you the 16 year old who wants to move out? Who will you be living with?
At 16 you cannot move out on your own unless you are emancipated.

You really don't want help, do you? The more you answer, the more cryptic this whole thing becomes. Why don't you pretend that we don't know the situation at all and then explain it to us in full sentences so that someone may be able to answer you...

I don't think they want to hear reality.
Unless THEY are able to completely support themselves... WITHOUT mooching off anyone else. Or getting outside help... they AREN'T getting emancipated... because THEY will have to hire and pay for the lawyers themselves... not their parents... and they still might be 18 before it would happen IF they qualified which I seriously doubt they ever will from the posts. They don't earn enough, they aren't coherent enough, I don't see that they are mature enough, and I get the impression they dwell within a land of personal fantasy of what they think the world is like instead of the Real world where very, very few people really have any concept of how harsh things really are until they really are on their own trying to make ends meet. Like 99.9% of the rest of the kids their age.

I'm going to take a guess here. You are a 16 yr old who wants to move out and you are trying to move into a condo complex with a HOA. The HOA is not letting you move in without a court order of emancipation? Have I go it? Its what makes sense from the little you have said.
At 16 you are still a minor and cannot enter into legal contracts unless you have a court order of emancipation. You need to start in Family Court to apply for one.

Thanks, Scott. That falls into place now that you have connected the dots.
The HOA (and, more to the point, the condo's representatives (or "home buyer's office") would be foolish to accept nothing more than written consent by the parents.
How a 16 year old can be able to pay for buying a home is puzzling. I'm guessing that in Texas (as in most if not all places), a minor cannot legally enter into such a contract. So at any time, the minor could change his or her mind and walk out of the deal.
And yes, it must be "sent to the court", and the court must approve (emancipation, as others have suggested).

You will have to get an attorney and go to family court.
They can not just write a letter and give to someone, There will have to be a oourt case before, a judge.
But, unless you have a job, and resources to pay for a place to live, ( not live with friends) it is really not going to happen
