Texas homeschool laws
Requirements summary
Texas treats homeschools as private schools per the Leeper decision. There is no notification, registration, testing, or curriculum-approval requirement. Parents must use a written curriculum and teach reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship in a bona fide manner.
You can generally start without filing paperwork with the state or district.
