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
