In Spring, TX, a significant development has occurred regarding tuition for students. A law that previously allowed certain individuals to qualify for lower tuition rates is no longer in effect. This change is relatively recent, having taken place last year.

The previous law had been in place for a long time, over twenty years. It allowed students who did not have legal status to pay in-state tuition rates under certain conditions. Further information on this topic is available from Houston Public Media, including details on a federal appeals court decision related to the matter.
