SB
To qualify for in-state tuition under the law, prospective students must sign a document that claims their intentions to gain American citizenship. They must also graduate from high school or earn a G-E-D, and they must have been living in Texas for a minimum of three years. For Bobcat Update Ruby Villarreal.
