Texas State Organizations

• T.H.S.C. (Texas Home School Coalition)

PEACH recommends, but does not require, that all members join THSC.  They handle legal homeschooling issues across Texas.  Membership in THSC carries legal protection in cases of government interference.   You can join THSC at a discount if you are a member of PEACH! 

The helpful people at THSC also provide homeschooling information particular to our great state of Texas. They lobby for homeschoolers' issues in Austin; they alert homeschoolers across the state to issues concerning changes or possible changes in our rights as homeschoolers; and they maintain an extensive communication network of homeschool support groups across the state.

• Heart of Texas (Home Educators Alliance for Resources and Training of Texas, Inc.)

Heart of Texas is a regional alliance of home school support group leaders who have a HEART for homeschoolers!  They provide leadership, support, and information as well as encourage political participation within the homeschool community through communications, networking activities, and events directed at home school support groups and families in the Greater Dallas / Fort Worth region. 

• N.T.H.E.N. (North Texas Homeschool Educators Network)  

This organization is a regional support group serving local home school support group leaders in North Texas.  NTHEN also sponsors the Plano Home School Conference and Book Fair, which is held each August at the Plano Conference Center.

Other Local Support Groups
