In the state of Texas, what kind of businesses should a 15 year old hit up to get a job at minimum wage or higher?

This explains everything you'd need to know, besides one thing I was also wondering: If said 15 year old does virtual school with flexible hours, would the hours of work laws still apply? I'm aware that truancy laws do not apply to anybody attending a virtual school, so there's a chance the child labor laws might be debatable as well.
Bump?

Truck stops (retail at truck stops have ridiculously high turnover) and fast food.
Work for yourself. You will make more money, and have more flexible hours. Lawn care or anything outside in the Texas heat. Take pride in your work and you will be rewarded. Just do not cut yourself short when pricing. You are worth every dollar.

As far as stuff like that goes, who do I talk to? As aforementioned, I do virtual school. I don't talk to many people and I'm in a town home where I don't know many neighbors.

Virtual school would still apply. It'd apply even if you didn't attend school at all. The point of hours of work is to keep you in regular school, that's why the exist.

That makes sense, thank you.
I know you are only 15 now, but you need to start working on those networking skills. Meet your neighbors, get some cards or flyers made up. I promise you it sucks. But after you knock on the first door and they did not kill you go to the next. I promise you if you knock on enough doors someone will say yes. You will not say the right thing...that is OK....you will mess up...you will live. You have to interact with people today to make money. You think Bill Gates was a programmer? No he was a salesman. We are all in sales. It is just some sell or you get sold....Do not work for someone else.

Normally I would, but since he's an alright poster who made an actually /biz/ related thread, I opted not too since he's better than 90% of our posters already.

Also, regarding the first question, you may want to ask /b/, since a lot more people there are in that age range, and possibly reddit, (r/texas i'd imagine can help). I
