This page serves as your central hub for TEFA updates at Bishop Louis Reicher Catholic School. We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children, and the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program helps families fulfill that role with greater freedom and support. Here you’ll find school-specific information, application support, upcoming clinic dates, and easy access to the official TEFA resources provided by the Texas Comptroller’s Office.

While Bishop Louis Reicher Catholic School does not administer the TEFA program, we are committed to walking alongside our families by helping you navigate the process and connect with reliable, up-to-date information. For complete program details, eligibility requirements, and official guidance, families should always refer to the Texas Comptroller’s TEFA website.

Applications for the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program will be accepted from February 4 through March 17, 2026. Texas families are encouraged to apply, as all children who live in Texas and are U.S. citizens or were lawfully admitted into the U.S. are eligible.

To get ready, parents should begin gathering the following documents:
