Hey there. Most definitely, parents are authorized by law to homeschool their child in Bowie County, Texas just be sure to comply with Texas mandatory requirements to homeschool your child. Homeschooling in Texas is considered one of the best states to homeschool in the United States as it requires very little government requirements. Parents in Texas are free to decide many of the items they deem appropriate for their student to learn. A parent or guardian homeschooling their student elsewhere than at school is not required by law to be certified as a teacher in Texas. Be that as it may, homeschooling with curriculum developed by a state certified teacher is highly recommended even if the certified educator is not a Texas teacher. This links to a Texas homeschool page with useful information about homeschool regulations in Texas:

Got it. Thanks.
