You are not legally required to register with your local school district or receive their permission to homeschool, but you must withdraw your child from public school if your child is already enrolled.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires you to specify the date that you will begin homeschooling in order to withdraw your child from public school.

THSC’s customer relations team is here to answer your questions should you experience difficulty in withdrawing your child from public school and intervene on behalf of THSC members.

How to send a withdrawal email or a withdrawal letter.

If your child’s school insists you must do more after sending a letter of assurance, contact THSC. Members have access to homeschool legal advocacy.
