Texas Homeschool Requirements (2025)
📋 The Basics
- Texas classifies homeschools as private schools — you do not need state approval or registration
- No notice required to your school district or the state to begin homeschooling
- No mandatory testing or portfolio reviews required by the state
- No minimum number of school days or hours required by state law
📚 Required Subjects
- Reading
- Spelling
- Grammar
- Mathematics
- Good citizenship
Texas law requires instruction in these five areas. You choose the curriculum, schedule, and teaching method.
📁 Record-Keeping
- No state-mandated portfolio or assessment records required
- Keeping records is strongly recommended for college applications and activity enrollment
- Attendance records and report cards help if your child re-enrolls in public school
⚠️ Always verify current requirements with the Texas Education Agency (tea.texas.gov) or the Home School Legal Defense Association (hslda.org). Laws can change and this page is for general reference only.
