Texas Homeschool Legal Requirements

Homeschooling is regulated at the state level and changes may be made to the relevant statutes at any time. Always consult the actual state code for the most up to date and accurate legal information with regard to homeschooling. The links provided below contain information that may or may not be current.

Homeschool Legal Advantage (HLA)
HLA is an outreach of the Christian Law Association. The CLA has faithfully served churches and families since 1969, and has successfully defended over 8,000 educational freedom related cases. Today, the Homeschool Legal Advantage team includes a large group of full-time attorneys and an additional 200+ affiliated attorneys throughout the United States. HLA stands ready to educate and empower Homeschoolers so that they can respond kindly and confidently to local officials when homeschooling questions arise. And, when direct attorney involvement or even legal representation is required to defend your right to homeschool, as a member of Homeschool Legal Advantage, you can rest assured that assistance from one of our experienced attorneys is only a phone call away! For more information, please visit http://www.HomeschoolLegalAdvantage.com

Is it Legal? ABSOLUTELY!
The court case of Leeper v. Arlington ISD is the basis for our right to homeschool in Texas. It establishes that homeschools are private schools. Private schools are not regulated in Texas, as our state constitution (Article 7 Sec 2) only authorizes the legislature to establish and maintain public schools, not private or parochial schools.

"Texas has no laws or regulations related to home schooling."
From HomeSchooling TEXAS.

Yes, It's Legal!
