Competency 013 closes Domain IV (about 20% of the exam)[1]: "The teacher understands and adheres to legal and ethical requirements for educators and is knowledgeable of the structure of education in Texas"[1].
Its statements cover legal requirements "related to special education, students' and families' rights, student discipline, fairness, child abuse"; legal and ethical use of resources and technology; the Code of Ethics and Standard Practices for Texas Educators; accurate student records; procedures for "state- and district-mandated assessments"; the structure of the state education system; and advocacy for students and the profession[1].
This is the chapter where the "best" answer is sometimes simply what the law requires. Several requirements changed in 2025 and 2026; the dates are given with each.
12.1 Reporting child abuse and neglect — now 24 hours
The duty. Texas Family Code §261.101(b) requires a professional — which includes "an individual who is licensed or certified by the state," such as a certified teacher — who has "reasonable cause to believe that a child has been abused or neglected or may be abused or neglected" to report "not later than the 24th hour after the hour the professional first has reasonable cause to believe" it[2]. This deadline was shortened from 48 hours by Senate Bill 571, effective June 20, 2025[2].
Key points, each tested:
- Reasonable cause, not proof. The teacher does not investigate or confirm; suspicion based on reasonable cause triggers the duty.
- Personal and non-delegable. "A professional may not delegate to or rely on another person to make the report"[2]. TEA puts it plainly: "Telling a supervisor or administrator does not meet this requirement. Each individual is responsible for making their own report"[3]. A teacher may also inform the principal or counselor under campus procedures, but that does not replace the teacher's own report.
- To whom. A report goes to "a law enforcement agency," the Department of Family and Protective Services, or the state agency that licenses the facility where the abuse occurred[2]. DFPS's Texas Abuse Hotline is 1-800-252-5400[4]. Since September 1, 2023, DFPS does not accept anonymous reports; reporters give a name and phone number, and "Reporters' names are confidential by law"[4].
- Protection and penalty. A person reporting "in good faith" is "immune from civil or criminal liability"[2]. A professional who "knowingly fails to make a report" commits an offense — a Class A misdemeanor, or a state jail felony if the failure was intended to conceal the abuse[2].
- Consent is not required. The duty to report is not affected by the parental-consent rules; the consent statute expressly does not "affect the duty to report child abuse or neglect"[5].
What a teacher does when a student discloses abuse. Listen calmly; do not press for details, promise secrecy or confront the alleged abuser; reassure the student that telling was right; make the report within 24 hours; document what the student said in the student's words; follow campus procedures to notify administration as well.
12.2 Reporting educator misconduct
Senate Bill 571 also created Texas Education Code Chapter 22A on misconduct by school employees[3]. TEA summarizes: "Principals must report educator misconduct to their superintendent within 48 hours of becoming aware of the information," and "Superintendents must report qualifying allegations of misconduct to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) or the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) within 48 hours"[3]. The statute sets the 48-hour rule for the serious categories of misconduct and a seventh-business-day rule for others[6]. Reportable conduct includes an educator's violation of "the assessment instrument security procedures"[6]. Reporting "boundary violations and inappropriate communications" is now required as well[3].
12.3 The Educators' Code of Ethics
SBEC's Code of Ethics (19 TAC §247.2) applies "to educators and candidates for certification"[7] and is enforced through certification discipline[7]. It has three groups of enforceable standards. The ones below are the most tested; the numbering is the rule's own.
Professional ethical conduct (Standards 1.1–1.18).
- 1.2 — do not misappropriate "monies, personnel, property, or equipment" for personal gain[7].
- 1.5 — do not "accept nor offer gratuities, gifts, or favors that impair professional judgment," though tokens "offered and accepted openly from students, parents ... in recognition or appreciation of service" are allowed[7].
- 1.6 — "shall not falsify records or direct or coerce others to do so"[7].
- 1.7 — comply with "state regulations, written local school board policies, and other state and federal laws"[7].
- 1.13 — no alcohol "on school property or during school activities when students are present"[7].
- New, effective August 2, 2026: Standards 1.14 to 1.18 require compliance with the "prohibitions on diversity, equity, and inclusion duties in Texas Education Code (TEC), §11.005," the "prohibitions on assistance with social transitioning in TEC, §11.401," the "restrictions on instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identity in TEC, §28.0043," and "the requirements to provide full information to a parent concerning a student in TEC, §26.008," and forbid promoting certain illegal conduct in a way visible to students[7].
Conduct toward colleagues (2.1–2.8). Do not reveal colleagues' "confidential health or personnel information" without a lawful purpose; do not make knowingly false statements about a colleague; do not discriminate against, coerce, retaliate against or sexually harass colleagues[7].
Conduct toward students (3.1–3.9).
- 3.1 — "shall not reveal confidential information concerning students unless disclosure serves lawful professional purposes or is required by law"[7].
- 3.2 — do not treat a student "in a manner that adversely affects or endangers the learning, physical health, mental health, or safety"[7].
- 3.3 — do not "misrepresent facts regarding a student"[7].
- 3.4 — do not exclude a student from a program, deny benefits or grant an advantage "on the basis of race, color, gender, disability, national origin, religion, family status, or sexual orientation"[7].
- 3.6 — "shall not solicit or engage in sexual conduct or a romantic relationship with a student or minor"[7].
- 3.8 — "maintain appropriate professional educator-student relationships and boundaries based on a reasonably prudent educator standard," considering factors such as contact "beyond the professional role," "transporting the student without permission," photos or video "beyond the professional role," and "showing favoritism or isolation through gifts, rewards, or privileges"[7].
- 3.9 — refrain from "inappropriate communication with a student," including electronic communication, judged by factors such as timing, subject matter and "whether the communication was made openly"[7].
How ethics questions work. The answer is usually the transparent, professional one: communicate through school channels, involve parents, keep boundaries, keep records honest, and follow district policy.
12.4 Students' and families' rights: records and privacy
Under FERPA, "education records" are records directly related to a student and maintained by the school[8]. Key rules:
- Parents' access. Parents may inspect their child's records; the school must comply "not more than 45 days after it has received the request"[9]. Texas law gives parents access to "all written records of a school district concerning the parent's child"[5].
- Disclosure within the school. Records may be shared with "other school officials, including teachers, within the agency or institution whom the agency or institution has determined to have legitimate educational interests"[10]. A teacher who needs a student's IEP to teach him has a legitimate interest; a teacher curious about a neighbor's child does not.
- Directory information. Schools may release designated directory information after giving parents notice and the right to refuse[11]; Texas requires the notice at the start of each school year[5].
- Sole-possession notes. Records "kept in the sole possession of the maker, are used only as a personal memory aid, and are not accessible or revealed to any other person" are not education records[8].
- Accurate records. A teacher "Follows procedures and requirements for maintaining accurate student records"[1]; changing a grade or attendance record falsely violates Standard 1.6[7].
12.5 Special education and Section 504: the legal essentials
- FAPE. Under IDEA, each state ensures a free appropriate public education for eligible children[12]; Section 504 separately requires districts to "provide a free appropriate public education to each qualified handicapped person"[13].
- Child find. Children suspected of a disability are "identified, located, and evaluated" — including those "advancing from grade to grade"[14].
- Consent to evaluate. The school must "obtain informed consent ... from the parent of the child before conducting the evaluation," and consent to evaluate is not consent to services[15].
- The IEP team. It includes "The parents of the child," "Not less than one regular education teacher of the child (if the child is, or may be, participating in the regular education environment)," a special education teacher or provider, a district representative, someone who can interpret evaluation results, others with expertise, and the child when appropriate[16]. In Texas, this is the ARD committee[17]. The general education teacher's presence is required, and the teacher must implement the IEP.
- LRE. Children with disabilities are educated with nondisabled peers "To the maximum extent appropriate"[18].
- Discipline. Schools may remove a child with a disability for code-of-conduct violations "for not more than 10 consecutive school days" as they would other students; after 10 school days of removal in a year, services must continue, and longer disciplinary changes involve a manifestation determination[19].
- Dyslexia. Texas treats dyslexia as "an example of and meets the definition of a specific learning disability" under IDEA[17].
12.6 Fairness, discipline and other student rights
- Nondiscrimination. Code Standard 3.4 bars excluding or advantaging students on protected bases[7].
- Discipline law. Chapter 5 covered teacher removal (including the 2025 single-incident rule), restraint and time-out, corporal punishment opt-outs and the phone law[20].
- Parents' rights. Chapter 10 covered access to materials, full information (including the one-business-day notice of a suspected crime against the child), and written consent for psychological tests, surveys and recordings[5].
12.7 State- and district-mandated assessments
A teacher "Understands the importance of and adheres to required procedures for administering state- and district-mandated assessments"[1]. The commissioner "shall establish procedures for the administration of assessment instruments ... including procedures designed to ensure the security of the assessment instruments"[21], and a superintendent must report an educator who "violated the assessment instrument security procedures"[6]. In practice: follow the test administrator manual word for word; keep materials secure; do not read, copy, discuss or coach on secure items; give only the accommodations documented for each student; and report irregularities. "Helping" students on a state test — pointing at an answer, rewording a question not allowed to be read, giving extra time not in a plan — is a violation, not kindness.
The same duty applies to your own certification exam: a candidate who helps develop, take or administer an examination "shall not reveal or cause to be revealed the contents of the examination to any other person"[22].
12.8 The structure of education in Texas
A teacher uses "knowledge of the structure of the state education system, including relationships among campus, local and state components, to seek information and assistance"[1].
| Level | Body | What it does | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| State | Texas Education Agency (TEA) | "The commissioner of education and the agency staff comprise the Texas Education Agency"; carries out functions the Code delegates to it | [23] |
| State | State Board of Education (SBOE) | Elected board; "shall establish curriculum and graduation requirements," adopts rules for the required curriculum (the TEKS), adopts instructional materials, sets gifted-education criteria | [23] |
| State | State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) | "shall regulate and oversee all aspects of the certification, continuing education, and standards of conduct of public school educators" | [24] |
| Regional | Regional education service centers (ESCs) — "not more than 20" | Assist districts "in improving student performance" and operating efficiently | [25] |
| Local | District board of trustees; superintendent | Board governs and sets policy; superintendent is "the educational leader and the chief executive officer of the school district" | [26] |
| Campus | Principal; campus-level committee | Principal is "the instructional leader of the school"; campuses plan through site-based decision-making | [26] |
The Code also reserves to districts anything not specifically given to the state: "An educational function not specifically delegated to the agency or the board under this code is reserved to and shall be performed by school districts or open-enrollment charter schools"[23].
Seeking help at the right level. A question about a student's schedule goes to the counselor; a question about certification renewal goes to SBEC/TEA; a curriculum question starts with the campus and district; a regional training need might be met by the ESC.
