Out of state AMERICAN Citizen students attending a Texas College will pay more.

Have there been any lawsuits regarding this issue?

I did read that at one time Texas tried to charge “tuition” for illegals to attend public schools in Texas and the Supreme Court shot them down - required free education to all, no matter legal status.

A lawsuit was filed in December challenging Texas’ law providing the students in-state tuition and state aid. The students are not eligible for federal aid such as Pell Grants.

Attorneys for the Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas sued the University of Houston, Houston Community College and Lone Star College systems in Harris County District Court, but the case was moved to federal court. “It’s not like we’re swimming in budget surpluses,” said attorney David Rogers. “It’s the responsibility of the government of Mexico to educate Mexican citizens.”
