Relating to the admission of persons holding certain nonimmigrant visas to public institutions of higher education.

HB 3058 would limit public Texas universities' admission of students with F-1 or J-1 visas to no more than 5% of their total enrollment capacity for undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. This applies to all public institutions of higher education and takes effect for the 2026-2027 academic year. The bill directly affects universities' admissions policies for international students holding these common student and exchange visas. It does not change tuition rates or visa eligibility but restricts the number of such students admitted relative to overall enrollment capacity. The law would be implemented starting September 1, 2025, with the 5% cap applying to new admissions beginning in 2026.
