I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not from Texas (in some states, adult = age 21) so what I suggest at this point is that you post your question and the details on www.lawguru.com, where attorneys may be able to give you some free advice.
I sent my son to his uncle in TX last April...he turned 18 ( of age) in January of last year & was having some problems up here (Ohio). He attended until Jan. 5 of this year & moved back to OH & is now enrolled. in an accredited school up here..attempting to finish 1/2 credit needed to graduate. I have just been informed that "Can Academy" filed a lawsuit because he didn't honor his contract that he signed & now that he's back in OH...he's supposed to appear in court in TX for violating this contract. In addition, when he completed his enrollment paperwork (at the age of 18) he listed his uncle as his guardian (his new place of of residence) & they are charging him, too!
Can you explain what kind of contract you're talking about? In most cases, only adults (usually over age 18) can sign legally binding contracts, but some high schools do ask that students promise not to drink, or use drugs, etc. as a condition of being able to participate on sports teams or in other activities. If the student violates the "contract" they can be dismissed from the team.
