According to The Dallas Morning News, following a 911 call from the home at 2am on Monday, officers arrived on the scene to find the boy sitting outside the home alongside his elder sister who was extremely distressed.
According to court documents on Tuesday that the sister was overheard asking: 'What do you mean you did it?'
The teen accused answered: 'I did it', according to the News, before the sister responded: 'Was this your plan?'
He did not reply and was taken into police custody after indicating that he had left the gun in the home.
Officers found Mr Callens lying on the floor with a gunshot wound and a rifle with a flashlight taped to it, according to The Dallas Morning News. Mrs Callens was found in the master bedroom with bullet wounds to her head and arm.
The autopsies on the couple, who have four other children, have not yet been completed.

The 16-year-old was barred from drinking soda, had all of his online activities monitored and wasn't allowed to watch any R-rated movies. The PG-13 films he watched were screened to remove violence and other adult content, neighbors revealed.
Jonathan Marcum, 15, who played with the teenage suspect, said the Callens closely monitored what their son did online and restricted what he was allowed to watch and even what he ate, according to the Dallas Morning News.
'They didn't allow any PG-13 movies, and if they did they would have it on Clear Play, which would take all the violent moments and skip it,' Marcum told KXAS-TV. 'So there was pretty much no violence in that family.'
Teens in the neighborhood said the Callens were very strict with the 16-year-old suspect and that any time the teen broke the rules, he would be punished.

Authorities have not said where the teen got the gun he used to kill his parents. Neighbors say they don't believe the Callens owned a firearm.
