Texas prepaid plan refunds change sparks return window
The Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board voted to cancel new refund-cut rules. The former Texas Tomorrow Fund, now Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan, faced money troubles and paused new participants after 2003 tuition deregulation. Families who left the plan after May learned of the refund policy change and were given until December 31 to return, with a year to catch up on installments and interest. Separately, protests against a campus concealed carry ban in Fort Worth drew a temporary restraining order from U S District Judge Terry R Means blocking Tarrant County College from limiting the protest. A hearing is set for November 16 in Fort Worth federal court.
