Homeschooling in Texas
Homeschooling in Texas is legal and relatively straightforward. The Texas Supreme Court issued a decision guaranteeing the right of Texas parents to teach their children at home without fear of prosecution. (Leeper et al. v. Arlington ISD et al., June 15, 1994)
In Texas, homeschooling is considered a type of private school. Your homeschool is exempt from the compulsory attendance statute. Therefore, Texas does not regulate the number of days per year that private schools must be in session or the number of days a student must attend. There is no requirement for the number of hours you must homeschool each day.
Letter of Intent to Homeschool
A Letter of Intent to Homeschool in Texas is an official document informing your local school district that you are withdrawing your child from public school and beginning homeschool education.
