Texas HB4758 allows public school districts to permit students with disabilities to be accompanied by a handler for their service animal.

HB4758 amends the Texas Education Code to allow school districts to adopt policies permitting students with disabilities to be accompanied by a handler for their service animal at district campuses. This is contingent on the student's admission, review, and dismissal committee determining that the student needs the service animal to access the educational program and that the student requires a handler. School districts may also require the handler to be unobtrusive in the classroom.
