Texas HB424 amends the determination of resident status for students at public institutions of higher education.

Texas HB424 modifies the criteria for determining resident status for students at public institutions of higher education. It specifies that a student is considered a resident if they established a domicile in Texas at least one year before the census date of the academic term and maintained it continuously for a year. For dependents, the parent's domicile is presumed to be theirs unless otherwise established. The bill also allows institutions to reclassify students as nonresidents if they do not meet the new criteria. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
