TX HB3582

Creates a new private civil cause of action allowing parents to sue school districts or open-enrollment charter schools for violations of student or parental rights under the Education Code

Permits lawsuits against schools for: failing to employ required educators for courses, assigning students to campuses with unacceptable performance ratings for two consecutive years, or failing to involve parents in matters where involvement is legally required

Waives sovereign immunity for school districts and charter schools to the extent of liability created by this section, enabling parents to bring suits directly

Allows prevailing parents to recover actual damages, specific performance, injunctive relief, and court costs including reasonable attorney's fees

Eliminates the requirement for parents to exhaust administrative remedies before filing suit, and prevents districts of innovation from claiming exemption from this liability provision
