Probably not considering the 16 year old made the choice to go. It would be different if he did not drive her home or she was a little girl.

Murder and kidnapping
once the police is in it,your boyfriend would be facing charges, may be a misdeminior or a felony. the only way he could be left relief of those charges is if the girlfriend drop charges against the boyfriend, but he might still be in his record as an assault and battery offence.
Kidnapping is a crime in most countries. In which case "a person" can not drop charges, the charges are made by the state/police (on the basis of a complaint or evidence) and it is up to them whether or not to prosecute the person charged.
You can't drop the charges, the prosecutor must do that. In most cases if you do not wish to assist in the prosecution they will do so. However, they may still carry on.
Kidnapping charges can be brought against anyone who does not have legal or physical custody of that person. Grandparent, parent, second cousin twice-removed, does not matter.
First and foremost, make better relationship choices. I know it doesn't directly answer the question, but, seriously... something happened which caused you to file kidnapping charges. Guess what? It was not a one-off thing. As for your question, you're kinda stuck between a rock and hard place. If you drop the charges and say you weren't kidnapped, then you're in a bind for filing a false police report. And, even if you do drop the charges, it doesn't mean the police won't pursue the charges themselves.
It depends on his age if he is 4 years older or if she is under 16 then yes
depends on what age you are. If you are over 18 then you can drop the case whenever you want. but if you are under 18 , even if you drop the case, your parents still can press charges against him.
Well, there is the big problem. You must be at least 18 to get married without parental consent. There is no place in North America that will allow you to get married without it.
The age of majority in TX is 18. If you leave home prior to turning 18 without parental permission or without being emancipated, then your parents can report you as a runaway. Anyone who takes you in could be facing charges for doing so.
