Homeschool Laws in Texas

Texas is the most homeschool-permissive state — no notice required, no curriculum approval, no required testing.

Yes, homeschooling is fully legal in Texas and there is almost no state oversight. Under the Leeper v. Arlington ruling, homeschools are treated as private schools — no notice of intent, no curriculum approval, no required testing, no annual reporting. You just need to (1) use a written curriculum and (2) cover five subjects: reading, spelling, grammar, math, and good citizenship. That's it. If your kid was previously in public school, send a withdrawal letter to the district — beyond that the state leaves you alone.
