Distinguish homeschool funding from private-school awards
For 2026–27, the Texas program identifies a $2,000 maximum for awarded homeschool/other students. Higher private-school awards, including additional disability funding, have different requirements. Do not use the advertised private-school maximum as a homeschool budget.
Check the Texas program
These are optional planning prompts, not a validated assessment or a claim that following a checklist produces a particular outcome. Record the answer you can verify; leave unknown information as an open question.
- Locate the current application and program guidance.
- Confirm the education setting and student eligibility requirements.
- Check the proposed provider and service category.
- Save the current payment rules and ask the administrator about unresolved details.
Make the texas funding record usable
Put the date and the question at the top of your notes. Work through “Locate the current application and program guidance.” first. Keep the document, sample or written answer that supports each entry. Distinguish what you observed from what a provider or program told you.
- Information confirmed: record the answer and where it came from.
- Still unknown: record the question and who can answer it.
- Next action: identify the person responsible and when you will check back.
