TX HB424

Eliminates the pathway for students to qualify for in-state tuition by graduating from a Texas high school and maintaining continuous residence for three years prior to graduation, regardless of immigration status

Adds a new requirement that persons not authorized under federal law to be present in the United States cannot be classified as Texas residents for tuition purposes at public higher education institutions

Retains two methods for establishing residency: individuals who established domicile in Texas at least one year before enrollment, or dependents whose parents established domicile in Texas at least one year before the dependent's enrollment

Allows public institutions of higher education to reclassify currently enrolled students as nonresidents before any semester if they previously qualified under the eliminated pathway or are not authorized to be present in the United States

Takes effect September 1, 2025
