2025 Revised Tax Charts

Effective September 1, 2025

Pursuant to section 154.061(b) of the Texas Family Code, the Office of the Attorney General of Texas, as the Title IV-D agency, has promulgated the following tax charts to assist courts in establishing the amount of a child support order. These tax charts are applicable to employed and self-employed persons in computing net monthly income. The charts include a range of monthly gross wages for obligors starting at $100. The child support percentages used to calculate child support for obligors of all incomes with children in one household are located within section 154.125(b) and (c). Under Texas Family Code section 154.125(c), a different set of percentages is used to calculate child support for low-income obligors, who are defined as obligors whose monthly net resources are less than $1,000. The child support percentages used to calculate child support for obligors with children in more than one household are located within section 154.129. This section provides an alternative method for computing child support for children in more than one household.

For assistance computing child support under the Texas Child Support Guidelines, please visit: https://csapps.oag.texas.gov/monthly-child-support-calculator

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

To use these tables, first compute the obligor's annual gross income. Then recompute to determine the obligor's average monthly gross income. These tables provide a method for calculating "monthly net income" for child support purposes, subtracting from monthly gross income the social security taxes and the federal income tax withholding for a single person claiming one personal exemption and the standard deduction.

Thereafter, in many cases the guidelines call for a number of additional steps to complete the necessary calculations. For example, sections 154.061 - 154.070 provide for appropriate additions to "income" as that term is defined for federal income tax purposes, and for certain subtractions from monthly net income, in order to arrive at the net resources of the obligor available for child support purposes. If necessary, one may compute an obligee's net resources using similar steps.

LIMITATIONS ON USE

These charts are intended to assist courts in common situations, and do not account for all deductions and adjustments allowable under the Internal Revenue Code. For instance, these charts do not account for the qualified business income deduction, which might be taken by some owners of sole proprietorships, S corporations, partnerships, or stand-alone rental properties (pass-through entities). In some situations, section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code allows owners of pass-through entities to take a deduction against their income resulting in a reduction of the effective tax rate. These charts should not be used to estimate the net income of owners of pass-through entities. The computation of net income for parties with complex tax situations may require consultation with an income tax professional.

REASONS FOR REVISION

2025 Tax Charts published in the Texas Register on December 20, 2024 were prepared and submitted for publication pursuant to § 154.061(b) of the Texas Family Code. The child support guidelines provided in the Texas Family Code are intended to guide the court in determining an equitable amount of child support. Pursuant to § 154.125 of the Texas Family Code, the guideline percentages are specifically designed to apply to situations in which the obligor's monthly net resources are not greater than a specific dollar amount most recently published by the Title IV-D agency in the Texas Register. This amount is known as the "Cap." The "Cap," pursuant to § 154.125 of the Texas Family Code, is adjusted every six years as necessary to reflect inflation. The Title IV-D agency is required to compute the adjusted dollar amount, to take effect beginning September 1 of the year of adjustment. The Title IV-D agency publishes the adjusted amount in the Texas Register before September 1 of the year in which the adjustment takes effect. On July 19, 2013, the Title IV-D agency adjusted the "Cap" amount from $7,500 to $8,550. On July 12, 2019, the Title IV-D agency adjusted the "Cap" from $8,550 to $9,200. On August 15, 2025, the Title IV-D agency adjusted the "Cap" from $9,200 to $11,700.

Additionally, on July 4, 2025, "The One Big Beautiful Bill Act," formerly known as H.R.1, became law. This law amended the standard deduction for a single person for tax year 2025, raising it from $15,000 to $15,750. The 2025 Revised Tax Charts incorporate the newly adjusted "Cap," as well as the revised 2025 standard deduction, which is used in calculating the net resources available for the support of children.

Correction of Error

The Office of the Attorney General published a miscellaneous document entitled "Announcement of Adjustment Required by Texas Family Code § 154.125" in the August 15, 2025, issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 5351). Due to an error by the Texas Register, the computation information included in the document was published incorrectly. The document should have read as follows:

Effective September 1, 2025, the guidelines for the support of a child apply to situations in which the obligor's monthly net resources are not greater than $11,700.00.

Texas Family Code § 154.125 (in part):

"APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES TO NET RESOURCES. (a) The guidelines for the support of a child in this section are specifically designed to apply to situations in which the obligor's monthly net resources are not greater than the maximum amount of net resources to which the statutory guidelines are applicable, as most recently published by the Title IV-D agency in the Texas Register . (a-1) The amount prescribed by Subsection (a) is adjusted every six years as necessary to reflect inflation. The Title IV-D agency shall compute the adjusted amount, to take effect beginning September 1 of the year of the adjustment, based on the percentage change in the consumer price index during the 72-month period preceding March 1 of the year of the adjustment, as rounded to the nearest $50 increment. The Title IV-D agency shall publish the adjusted amount in the Texas Register before September 1 of the year in which the adjustment takes effect. For purposes of this subsection, "consumer price index" has the meaning assigned by § 341.201, Finance Code."

Computation:

February 2025, the designated CPI was 930.723

February 2019, the designated CPI was 733.407

The CPI change was 197.316 (930.723-733.407)

The CPI increased by 26.9040246% (197.316 ÷ 733.407 = 0.269040246)

$9,200 x 1.269040246 = $11,675.17

$11,675.17 rounded to the nearest $50 increment is $11,700.00 (11,675.17 ÷ 50 = 233.50; ROUND(233.50, 0) = 234; 234 x 50 = 11,700)

Texas Education Agency

Request for Applications (RFA) Concerning Generation Thirty-One Open-Enrollment Charter Application (RFA #701-26-101) for Experienced Operators

Filing Authority. Texas Education Code (TEC), §12.101

Eligible Applicants. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is requesting applications under request for applications (RFA) #701-26-101 from eligible entities to operate open-enrollment charter schools. Eligible entities include public institutions of higher education, private or independent institutions of higher education, organizations exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 United States Code, §501(c)(3)), or governmental entities that are considered experienced operators and are operating or have operated a charter school in another portfolio or under another subchapter. At least one member of the applicant team must attend one required applicant information session webinar. In addition, the board president of the sponsoring entity, if identified, must attend. For more information, visit our Charter Application website at https://tea.texas.gov/texas-schools/texas-schools-charter-schools/charter-school-applicants.

The webinar will also be recorded and made available publicly; however, failure to attend at least one of the mandatory webinars will disqualify an applicant from further consideration during the Generation 31 application cycle.

Description. The purpose of an open-enrollment charter is to provide an alternative avenue for restructuring schools. An open-enrollment charter school offers flexibility and choice for educators, parents, and students. An approved open-enrollment charter school may be located in a facility of a commercial or nonprofit entity or in a school district facility. If the open-enrollment charter school is to be located in a school district facility, it must be operated under the terms established by the board of trustees or governing body of the school district in an agreement between the charter school and the district.

An open-enrollment charter school will provide instruction to students at one or more elementary or secondary grade levels as provided by the charter. An open-enrollment charter school must be nonsectarian in its programs, admissions, policies, employment practices, and all other operations and may not be affiliated with a sectarian school or religious institution. It is governed under the specifications of the charter and retains authority to operate for the term of the charter contingent on satisfactory student performance as defined by the state accountability system. An open-enrollment charter school does not have the authority to impose taxes.

An open-enrollment charter school is subject to federal laws and certain state laws governing public schools, including laws and rules relating to a criminal offense, requirements relating to the Texas Student Data System, Public Education Information Management System, criminal history records, high school graduation, special education programs, bilingual education, prekindergarten programs, extracurricular activities, health and safety provisions, and public school accountability. As stated in Texas Education Code (TEC), §12.1056, in matters related to operation of an open-enrollment charter school, an open-enrollment charter school or charter holder is immune from liability and suit to the same extent as a school district, and the employees and volunteers of the open-enrollment charter school or charter holder are immune from liability and suit to the same extent as school district employees and volunteers. A member of the governing body of an open-enrollment charter school or of a charter holder is immune from liability and suit to the same extent as a school district trustee. TEC, §12.1057, states that an employee of an open-enrollment charter school who qualifies for membership in the Teacher Retirement System of Texas shall be covered under the system to the same extent a qualified employee of a school district is covered.

Dates of Project. An electronic version of the completed application must be submitted to TEA by 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) Friday, November 14, 2025, to be eligible for review.

Project Amount. TEC, §12.106, specifies the following.

(a) A charter holder is entitled to receive for the open-enrollment charter school funding under TEC, Chapter 48, equal to the amount of funding per student in weighted average daily attendance, excluding the adjustment under TEC, §48.052, the funding under TEC, §§48.101, 48.110, 48.111, and 48.112, and enrichment funding under TEC, §48.202(a), to which the charter holder would be entitled for the school under TEC, Chapter 48, if the school were a school district without a tier one local share for purposes of TEC, §48.266.

(a-1) In determining funding for an open-enrollment charter school under subsection (a), the amount of the allotment under TEC, §48.102, is based solely on the basic allotment to which the charter holder is entitled and does not include any amount based on the allotment under TEC, §48.101.

(a-2) In addition to the funding provided by subsection (a), a charter holder is entitled to receive for the open-enrollment charter school an allotment per student in average daily attendance in an amount equal to the difference between the product of the quotient of the total amount of funding provided to eligible school districts under TEC, §48.101(b) or (c); and the total number of students in average daily attendance in school districts that receive an allotment under TEC, §48.101(b) or (c); and the sum of one and the quotient of the total number of students in average daily attendance in school districts that receive an allotment under TEC, §48.101(b) or (c); and the total number of students in average daily attendance in school districts statewide; and $125.

(a-3) In addition to the funding provided by subsections (a) and (a-2), a charter holder is entitled to receive for the open-enrollment charter school enrichment funding under TEC, §48.202, based on the state average tax effort.

(a-4) In addition to the funding provided by subsections (a), (a-2), and (a-3), a charter holder is entitled to receive funding for the open-enrollment charter school under TEC, §48.110 and §48.112, and TEC, Chapter 48, Subchapter D, if the charter holder would be entitled to the funding if the school were a school district. In addition, under TEC §48.109(a), a charter school is entitled to an annual allotment equal to the basic allotment multiplied by 0.07 for each school year or a greater amount provided by appropriation for each identified student in a program for gifted and talented students that the charter school certifies to the commissioner as complying with TEC, Chapter 29, Subchapter D. TEC, §12.106(b), states that an open-enrollment charter school is entitled to funds that are available to school districts from TEA or the commissioner of education in the form of grants or other discretionary funding unless the statute authorizing the funding explicitly provides that open-enrollment charter schools are not entitled to the funding. In addition, TEC, Chapter 12, states that an open-enrollment charter school may not charge tuition and must admit students based on a lottery if more students apply for admission than can be accommodated. An open-enrollment charter school must prohibit discrimination in admission policy on the basis of sex; national origin; ethnicity; religion; disability; academic, artistic, or athletic ability; or the district the child would otherwise attend. However, a charter school that specializes in the performing arts may require an applicant to audition. The charter may provide for the exclusion of a student who has a documented history of a criminal offense, juvenile court adjudication, or a discipline problem under TEC, Chapter 37, Subchapter A.

Selection Criteria. A complete description of selection criteria is included in the RFA.

The commissioner may approve open-enrollment charter schools as provided in TEC, §12.101. There is a cap of 305 charters approved under TEC, §12.101. The commissioner is scheduled to consider awards under RFA #701-26-101 in May 2026.

The commissioner may approve applicants to ensure representation of urban, suburban, and rural communities; various instructional settings; innovative programs; diverse student populations and geographic regions; and various eligible entities. The commissioner will consider Statements of Impact from any school district whose enrollment is likely to be affected by the open-enrollment charter school. The commissioner may also consider the history of the sponsoring entity and the credentials and background of its board members. The commissioner may not award a charter to an entity that has within the preceding 10 years had a charter revoked, non-renewed, or surrendered. The commissioner will not consider an application submitted by an individual that is substantially related to an entity that has within the preceding 10 years had a charter revoked, non-renewed, or surrendered.

Requesting the Application. An application must be submitted under commissioner guidelines to be considered. A complete copy of the publication Generation Thirty-One Open-Enrollment Charter Application (RFA #701-26-101), which includes an application and guidance, may be obtained on the TEA website at http://tea.texas.gov/Texas_Schools/Charter_Schools/.

The entity, or a member of the entity's executive leadership, must have a successful history of providing education services, including industry certifications and job placement services, to adults 18 years of age and older whose educational and training opportunities have been limited by educational disadvantages, disabilities, homelessness, criminal history, or similar marginalizing circumstances.

For more information, visit our Charter Application website at https://tea.texas.gov/texas-schools/texas-schools-charter-schools/charter-school-applicants.

Description. The purpose of an adult education charter is to meet industry needs for a sufficiently trained workforce within the state and strengthen the economic and educational prosperity of the state. The adult education charters must be designed to offer a high school program that can lead to a diploma and career and technology education courses that can lead to industry certification. The entity must demonstrate through the application process that the proposed school model must comply with allowable provisions under state law and the specific provisions for adult education under TEC, §12.259. Those provisions include that the entity use an instructional model in which a significant portion of instruction, as approved by the commissioner, is delivered in a teacher-led, interactive classroom environment; provide access to: career and technical education courses that lead to an industry certification; career readiness training; postsecondary counseling; and job-placement services; and provide support services to students, including: child care at no cost to students; life coaching services, at a ratio not to exceed one life coach for every 100 students, that use strategic and holistic interventions designed to facilitate graduation planning and assist students in overcoming life obstacles to achieve academic and career goals; mental health counseling; for students with identified disabilities or impairments, instructional support services; and transportation assistance. An adult high school charter program is subject to federal laws and certain state laws governing public schools, including laws and rules relating to a criminal offense, requirements relating to the Public Education Information Management System, criminal history records, high school graduation, special education programs, bilingual education, health and safety, requirements to report an educator's misconduct; and the right of an employee to report a crime. The commissioner will evaluate each adult education charter school annually according to the performance framework adopted specifically for these schools. The commissioner may revoke the charter if the charter's adult education program fails to meet the minimum performance standards established by commissioner rule on the applicable accountability framework for three consecutive school years after the second year of operation.

Dates of Project. An electronic version of the completed application must be submitted to TEA by 5:00 p.m. (Central Time), Friday, October 31, 2025, to be eligible for review.

Project Amount. TEC, §12.263, specifies the following.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by this section, funding for an adult education program operated under a charter granted under this subchapter is an amount per participant through the Foundation School Program equal to the amount of state funding per student in weighted average daily attendance that would be allocated under the Foundation School Program for the student's attendance at an open-enrollment charter school in accordance with TEC, §12.106.

(b) For purposes of determining the average daily attendance of an adult education program operated under a charter granted under this subchapter, a student is considered to be in average daily attendance, with a 100 percent attendance rate, for: (1) all of the instructional days of the school year, if the student is enrolled for at least 75 percent of the school year; (2) half of the instructional days of the school year, if the student is enrolled for at least 50 percent but less than 75 percent of the school year; (3) a quarter of the instructional days of the school year, if the student is enrolled for at least 25 percent but less than 50 percent of the school year; or (4) one-tenth of the instructional days of the school year, if the student is enrolled for at least 10 percent but less than 25 percent of the school year.

(c) A student enrolled in an adult education program operated under a charter granted under this subchapter for less than 10 percent of a school year may not be counted toward the adult education program's average daily attendance for that school year.

(d) For purposes of the compensatory education allotment under TEC, §48.104, the commissioner shall: (1) permit an adult education program operated under a charter granted under this subchapter to give a final report at the end of each school year of students who were enrolled in the adult education program at any time during that school year and who qualify for that allotment; and (2) provide the allotment for each student reported under Subdivision (1) in an amount proportional to the duration of the student's enrollment in the adult education program.

(e) For purposes of the college, career, or military readiness outcomes bonus under TEC, §48.110, notwithstanding Subsection (f) of that section, an annual graduate of an adult education program operated under a charter granted under this subchapter demonstrates career readiness by earning an industry-accepted certificate not later than six months after completing the program.

(f) In addition to funding provided under Subsection (a), an eligible entity granted a charter under this subchapter is entitled to receive for the adult education program an annual allotment, provided in accordance with a schedule established by commissioner rule, equal to the maximum basic allotment under TEC, §48.051(a) or (b), multiplied by: (1) for each credit earned by a student enrolled in the adult education program during the preceding school year: (A) 0.01 for a course other than a career and technology education course; and (B) 0.02 for a career and technology education course; and (2) 0.1 for each student who successfully completed the adult education program and earned a high school diploma during the preceding school year.

(g) TEC, §12.107 and §12.128, apply as though funds under this section were funds under Subchapter D.

(h) Notwithstanding any other law, for purposes of any budget reductions requested by the Legislative Budget Board or the governor, any money received by a nonprofit entity granted a charter under this subchapter or appropriated to the agency for purposes of operating an adult education program under this subchapter is considered to be part of the foundation school program and is not subject to those budget reductions.

TEC, §12.258, specifies for admission that: a) A person who is at least 18 years of age and not more than 50 years of age is eligible to enroll in an adult education program operated under a charter granted under this subchapter if the person: (1) has failed to complete the curriculum requirements for high school graduation; or (2) has failed to perform satisfactorily on an assessment instrument required for high school graduation.

Amended Notice of Public Meeting New Permit No. WQ0016503001 (Meeting rescheduled from August 11, 2025)

APPLICATION. South Central Water Company, P.O. Box 570177, Houston, Texas 77257, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016503001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 600,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on March 11, 2024.

The facility will be located approximately 0.36 miles northwest of the intersection of North Drive and Northwest Carlos G. Parker Boulevard, in Williamson County, Texas 76574. The treated effluent will be discharged to Turkey Creek, thence to Brushy Creek in Segment No. 1244 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for Turkey Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1244 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and the Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to protect existing uses will be maintained. This review has preliminarily determined that no water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses are present within the stream reach assessed; therefore, no Tier 2 degradation determination is required. No significant degradation of water quality is expected in water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses downstream, and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application.

After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision.

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

Notice of Costs to Administer the Voluntary Cleanup Program and the Innocent Owner/Operator Program

In accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code, §361.613 (pertaining to the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP)) and 30 Texas Administrative Code §333.43 (pertaining to the Innocent Owner/Operator Program (IOP)), the executive director of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) annually calculates the commission's costs to administer the VCP and the IOP, and publishes in the Texas Register the rates established for the purpose of identifying the costs recoverable by the commission. The TCEQ has calculated, and is hereby publishing, the bill rate for both the VCP and the IOP as $138 per hour for the commission's Fiscal Year 2026.

The VCP and the IOP are implemented by the same TCEQ staff. Therefore, a single hourly bill rate for both programs is appropriate. The hourly bill rate is determined based upon current projections for staff salaries for Fiscal Year 2026, including the fringe benefit rate and the indirect cost rate, minus anticipated federal funding that the commission will receive, and then divided by the estimated number of staff hours necessary to complete the program tasks. Fringe benefits include retirement, social security, and insurance expenses and are calculated at a set rate for the entire agency. The current fringe benefit rate is 35.87% of the budgeted salaries. Indirect costs include allowable overhead expenses and are calculated at a set rate for the entire agency. The current indirect cost rate is 34.89% of the budgeted salary. The hourly bill rate was calculated and then rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount. After an applicant's initial $1,000 application fee has been depleted for the VCP or the IOP review and oversight costs, invoices will be sent monthly to the applicant, or designee, for payment.

The commission anticipates receiving federal funding during Fiscal Year 2026 for the continued development and enhancement of the VCP and the IOP. If the federal funding anticipated for Fiscal Year 2026 does not become available, the commission may calculate and publish a new hourly bill rate. Federal funding of the VCP and the IOP should occur prior to October 1, 2025.

For more information, please contact Mr. Eric White, VCP-CA Section, Remediation Division, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, MC 221, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, or call (512) 239-5051, or email eric.white@tceq.texas.gov.

Notice of Public Meeting for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016558001

APPLICATION. South Central Water Company, P.O. Box 570177, Houston, Texas 77257, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016558001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 800,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on June 20, 2024.

The facility will be located approximately one mile southwest of the intersection of County Road 426 and County Road 427, in Williamson County, Texas 76578. The treated effluent will be discharged via pipe to an unnamed tributary, thence to Winterrowd Lake, thence to an unnamed tributary, thence to Spring Branch, thence to Turkey Creek, thence to Brushy Slough, thence to Brushy Creek in Segment No. 1244 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic use for the unnamed tributary and Spring Branch, limited aquatic life use for Winterrowed Lake and the second unnamed tributary, and high aquatic life use for Spring Branch impoundment. The designated uses for Segment No. 1244 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and high aquatic life use.

In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and the TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to protect existing uses will be maintained. A Tier 2 review has preliminarily determined that no significant degradation of water quality is expected in the Spring Branch impoundment, which has been identified as having high aquatic life uses. Existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice.
