Relating to tuition and fee exemptions at public institutions of higher education for the siblings of certain military personnel.

SB 1338 expands tuition and fee exemptions at Texas public colleges to include siblings of military personnel who meet specific criteria. It applies to siblings of service members who were killed in action, died in service, are missing, became totally disabled due to service, or meet VA disability standards. A key condition is that the military member must have no spouse or children for the sibling to qualify. The policy change takes effect for the 2025 fall semester, covering tuition and fees for eligible Texas residents enrolled at public institutions.
