In Texas there are only three rules for homeschooling in Texas according to Texas Un-schoolers,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Texas Homeschool Laws – Texas Unschoolers |url=https://www.texasunschoolers.com/texas-homeschool-laws/ |access-date=2025-04-22 |website=www.texasunschoolers.com}}</ref> the first rule is that the instruction must [[mwod:bona fide|be bona fide]]. The second rule is the instruction must be able to be visually seen through workbooks, or a video monitor. The third and final rule is that the curriculum must include the five primary subjects which are spelling, reading, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship.

According to Texas Education Agency<ref>{{Cite web |last=Agency |first=Texas Education |date=2024-04-24 |title=Home Schooling |url=https://tea.texas.gov/texas-schools/general-information/finding-a-school-for-your-child/home-schooling |access-date=2025-04-24 |website=tea.texas.gov |language=en-US}}</ref> homeschooling has been a legal option aside from public schools since 1994. In the case of ''Leeper et al. v. Arlington ISD et al.''<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of Texas Home Education |url=https://thsc.org/the-history-of-home-education-in-texas/ |access-date=2025-04-24 |website=Texas Home School Coalition |language=en-US}}</ref> the [[Supreme Court of Texas]] approved the decision of the lower court that children being educated at home are excused from the compulsory attendance requirement to the same length as those students that are registered in private schools.

Students that are home schooled are still able to earn their diploma and graduate. According to Texas Home School Coalition <ref>{{Cite web |title=Homeschooling High School and Beyond |url=https://thsc.org/home-school-resources/homeschooling-high-school/#Graduate |access-date=2025-04-25 |website=Texas Home School Coalition |language=en-US}}</ref> parents are able to graduate their homeschool students, because homeschool falls under a private school in Texas therefore the administrant of a homeschool (the parents) have the authority to dictate the requirements needed to graduate, identical to [[private school]]s. Once the homeschooled student has finished the requirements from administrant, they can be graduated and granted a [[High school diploma|High School diploma.]]
