Texas Homeschooling

Texas Standards & Compliance Guide

Texas is one of the most homeschool-friendly states in the country, but keeping detailed portfolios and compliance records remains essential. Learn how to easily meet state guidelines and automate your academic tracking.

⚖️ Texas Legal Guidelines

Understanding the Texas Homeschool Law

Homeschooling in Texas was established as fully legal under the landmark Leeper v. Arlington Independent School District decision. Under Texas law, a homeschool is considered a private school and must meet these basic criteria:

1. Core Subjects

Your curriculum must cover these mandatory subject areas:

  • Math & Arithmetic
  • Reading & Phonics
  • Spelling & Vocabulary
  • Grammar & Writing
  • Good Citizenship (History/Civics)

2. Visual & Written Materials

You must use written materials, visual guides, or digital software (which includes desktop apps like Little Oat Learners) to conduct instruction. A pure oral curriculum does not meet the guidelines.

  • Must be conducted in a bona fide manner (honest intent).
  • Requires visual or digital records of study.
