My Homeschool Hours

State rules

Texas

checked 2026-11-11

Texas does not register or monitor home schools. Your course of study needs to include good citizenship, and a district may ask for a letter of assurance in writing.

Even with little to file, a dated record of what each child learned is what you will want for a transcript, a transfer or college applications.
