Can I Access My Devices, That Were Confiscated By The Police And Given To My Mom, Just To Get My Emails, Passwords, Bank Account Legally?

Location: Texas

I'm 18f and facing eviction from my mom, but have not been served papers nor is there proof she actually submitted an application. Two days ago, she called the cops on me to "discpline" me, and I spoke to them and explained she's abusive. They told me its okay for me to leave the house and never come back, and it's also okay if I want to stay, but if she plans to evict me I have until a set amount of days to stay.

I'm fine with leaving, even though I have nothing to my name or no place to stay. However, the police took my Iphone and my Ipad I use for school and gave it to her, because she bought it and its under her name and I don't pay for the line (I did offer to pay it many times, but my mom shut it down). I can't access the Verizon account because I don't know the pin.

I left, slept over at a friends house, but I realized I can't access my emails or my passwords or even my subscriptions and memberships I independently pay for myself. There's no way for me to "forget password" because it sends the codes back to my iPhone and Ipad.

I also can't access my school email or accounts, and I desperately need to because I started school in 3 days and I also need transportation, since I'm no longer allowed to drive the car I was gifted (legally under her name.)

I need all of these things to see if any jobs replied back to me, to log into my Canvas for school, to see my bank account and my savings, to get transportation, and etc., but I'm still not being allowed to access them. I'm still home, holed up in my room and expected to sit here for 30 days.

I called 211, was told to reach out to my university for help and to not stay in this abusive household, but I'm still figuring out transportation since I can't take my car because she'll notify the police.

Also, I can't Uber or request any ride shares or even buy anything because she pulled all of the money out from my account yesterday. (She refused to let me have an independent account, coming back to bite me in the ass.)

Any advice?
