Many private schools are accredited through the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission (TEPSAC) which is approved by the Texas Education Agency. Here is the site that lists there schools that are private accredited. Home schools are not off-limits unless posted 30.06 or verbal written communication has been issued.

So it's not regulation but accreditation, okay I get it. Thanks.

You know this is interesting language (I've noted it in the code as well) considering private schools aren't regulated in Texas. In fact you do not need a HS diploma, GED or otherwise to attend college, just sufficient SATs or relevant test score.

The Leeper vs. Arlington DISD home school case defined that, "Home schools are private schools and private schools are not regulated in the state of Texas."
