How can i legally get emancipated?

I'm 15 and currently live in San Antonio, Texas. I want to be emancipated from my parents, but I don't want to go to my uncle who's an attorney. I am currently going to school, but that's part of the problem. I don't like the school I'm at, I don't like...

my parents, and I don't like them trying to control me. Just because my sis got pregnant at a young age doesn't mean I will! They get all hissy every time I hug or kiss a guy I know and every time I point a cute pregnant girl my mom gets all PMS on me. It's sooo super annoying.
Which is why I want to be emancipated. They won't let me get a job this summer and I really want to start making my own money. I'll be 16 in December. Hopefully I'll be emancipated by then . . .

No offense or anything but because you dont like rules doesnt mean you can emancipate your parents.

sameeisbored is right - you need a legitimate reason.

If every kid was granted emancipation just because their parents are too strict, there would be very few kids living under their parent's roof.

same as everyone else said and when parents are to strict it just means they care.

true bt technically you can be informwelyy emancipated under common law if you do a few things like if you marreid or if you moved out and supported your self tyhen the state considers you emacipated

If you are determined enough you can become emancipated just by becoming financially self sufficient. I don't know where you live, so you should look up the laws in your area on the internet. There is a lot of information available, even on Wikipedia. There are also child advocates or child law centers wherever you live. Either go there, or talk to a guidance counsellor or nurse if you think they will keep it private.

I am so surprised that the people that have answered so far just dismiss your complaints like they are nothing. I have a funny feeling that there is more to your story than not liking your school.
Good luck.

Legally, emancipation refers to the removal of some of the disabilities of minority. What that means is that when a minor becomes emancipated, s/he gets some of the rights of adults: http://www.teenparents.org/emancipation.html
