1. I acknowledge that in order to homeschool legally in Texas, I must provide:
    • Bona fide instruction;
    • With a visual curriculum;
    • That includes the basic subjects of reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship for my student(s).
  2. If choosing Annual Payments
    • I authorize THSC to charge my card annually unless I notify THSC that I wish to discontinue my membership.
  3. If choosing Quarterly Payments
    • I authorize THSC to charge the agreed-upon quarterly membership rate to my card now and every 3 months for a minimum of four (4) committed payments. After my initial four (4) payments, I am responsible to notify THSC if I wish to discontinue my membership. If I do not request to discontinue my membership after the first four (4) committed payments, my card will continue to be charged the quarterly rate every 3 months.
  4. I understand and accept regarding Membership:
    • Fees are non-refundable and are not tax-deductible.
    • Pertaining to auto-renewing memberships (annual auto-renewals or 5th payment or later on a quarterly auto-renewing membership), I agree to contact THSC within 2 weeks of a charge to my card after auto-renewal. I understand that charges are non-refundable after 14 days of the auto-renewal of my membership.
    • If I choose to dispute the charge with my bank rather than cancel through THSC, I acknowledge that THSC will issue a $25 dispute/handling fee.
    • Some membership benefits may not be available to residents outside of Texas.
    • Membership interventions, legal aid, or legal representation do not apply to pre-existing conditions.
    • Legal assistance is conducted in English and does not include translation services.

    • Membership should be in the name of a parent or legal guardian (the person standing in parental authority).
    • Children covered under the membership are the biological or adoptive children of the parent or guardian or any children for whom the parent or guardian has been granted legal custody by a court.
  5. I understand and accept that THSC:
    • Serves all Texas homeschool families regardless of race, creed, or religion.
    • Reserves the right to reject any membership application and will refund membership fee upon denial of membership. We will send an explanation if membership is denied.
    • Reserves the right to revoke any membership if application information has been misrepresented. In such cases, no refund of membership fee will be made.
