HB 753 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the offering of certain high school courses for which students may earn college credit.

HB 753 requires Texas high schools to offer certain courses that allow students to earn college credit through approved exams, such as AP, IB, or CLEP tests. It prohibits state or local governments from banning these courses or their instructional components if an accredited Texas college awards credit for passing the specified exams. The law applies to all public high schools starting in the 2025-2026 school year. This directly affects high school students, educators, and school districts by expanding access to college credit opportunities during high school.
