Resource recommendations on delinquent and physically combative youth

We live in Westchase, and currently, we have a 16 years old female that has a long history of mental illness with physical aggression. She has a therapist on speed dial, and she also went through a number of residential treatments (Sun Behavioral, Meridell Achievement Center etc). Each time she goes in for treatment, she comes back with worsening behaviors within a very short period of hours/days.

She currently refuses to attend high school, and she comes and leaves house at wee hours. She is verbally abusive, and she does not respect parents or any types of house rules. We have told her many times that it is not safe to leave the house in the middle of night to meet random strangers and to engage in a various risky behaviors (drugs, sex…etc). Still, it has gotten out of hand. Not even her therapist is able to rein her in.

It looks like in Harris County (specifically Alief ISD), the individual school is responsible for dealing with truancy, and we have been unable to get her on the right path. She is not even willing to work on credit recovery plan with the AP. She is on the war path, believing that we must get her a state ID, so that she can start working, dropping out of school (not even a legal option at age 16 in Texas, but she does not care), and getting GED later.

When she gets belligerent and physically combative, we get HPD involved, but their mental health officers are pretty much unhelpful, because unless she physically assaults another human being, they can’t get the teen to do anything. She demands us to treat her like an adult with elevated respect and in return, allows her to verbally (and sometimes physically) bully us around. At the same time, she enjoys the fact that she is entitled to legal protection as a minor, because if we physically discipline her, CPS is her speed dial. She does not believe that she will get hurt or get in any types of trouble. She does not believe in any advice from us because her cohorts on social networks tell her otherwise. She only wants "yes" from us, and never a "no."

Thus, we are in need of a family lawyer recommendation, so that we can figure out our next step, especially since we are at a standstill with no real recourse into getting her onto the right path.

We are also in need of resources for troubled youth, because the only reason that she is still at home is because we are her guardian, but if there is a better place to set her straight, we are open to options.
