THSC saw a need in 1986 for the defense of homeschool and family rights in the state of Texas because of the numerous lawsuits against homeschoolers across the state and harmful legislation introduced in Austin. Ever since, THSC has provided advocacy through legal assistance and lobbying the Texas legislature to Keep Texas Families Free.

In the Legislature:

With THSC Watchman, we are the only organization that lobbies full time in Austin defending family rights during the legislative session.

For 2017 our legislative priorities are as follows:

  1. Kill bad legislation that would compromise the rights of Texas families
  2. Parent-Child Protection Act to protect innocent families from CPS intrusion
  3. Family Unity Act to restore family rights and close loopholes hurting families
  4. Tim Tebow Bill to allow homeschool students to participate in UIL activities

Court Cases

THSC provides expert testimony in cases where the right of families to direct the care, custody, and education of their child(ren) is threatened. When necessary, THSC pursues litigation against institutions and individuals who abuse their authority, including our cases against Children’s Protective Services (CPS) and against the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC).
