Texas homeschool laws

Texas homeschool laws allow parents to educate their children at home under a private school exemption. Parents must provide a curriculum aligned with basic educational goals, keep attendance records, and administer standardized tests if required for certain age groups. They are not required to register with the state or obtain a teaching license. However, they must ensure instruction covers subjects like reading, math, science, and social studies. Local authorities can inspect homes if concerns arise, but homeschoolers are generally granted significant flexibility in curriculum and scheduling.
