TX HB160

Eliminates the pathway for Texas high school graduates to qualify for in-state tuition based solely on graduating from a Texas high school and maintaining continuous residence for three years, regardless of immigration status

Prohibits persons not authorized under federal law to be present in the United States from being classified as Texas residents for tuition purposes at public higher education institutions

Requires institutions to reclassify students erroneously classified as residents to nonresident status and mandates collection of the difference between resident and nonresident tuition rates

Mandates that higher education institutions immediately notify campus police or local law enforcement when they discover an enrolled student is not authorized to be present in the United States

Applies beginning with the Fall 2025 semester, with provisions allowing institutions to reclassify currently enrolled students who no longer qualify for resident status under the new requirements
