HB 238 amends Sections 135.02, 135.04, and 130.063 of the Texas Education Code, expanding and clarifying the campus composition and operational territories of the Texas State Technical College (TSTC) System. Key changes include adding Wilson County and Starr County to the list of regions with designated TSTC campuses or locations, allowing for more strategic placement of technical and vocational education in these areas. Additionally, the bill modifies requirements for TSTC programs offered within junior college tax districts, specifying conditions under which TSTC can establish programs to avoid duplication with local junior colleges. This Act will take effect immediately if it passes by a two-thirds majority or otherwise on September 1, 2025​.
