Rep. David Lowe introduced HB 2796, a bill on Education, to the Texas House on Wednesday, March 19 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the permissible uses of money received from the purchase of attendance credit by a school district’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

This bill amends the Education Code to specify that money received from the purchase of attendance credit by a school district must be used exclusively for teacher salaries and classroom instruction purposes at a school district or open-enrollment charter school. The aim appears to be ensuring that these funds are directed toward enhancing educational quality by directly supporting educators and instructional activities. The effective date for this legislation is set for September 1, 2025.

David Lowe, member of the House Committee on S/C on County & Regional Government, proposed another four bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Lowe graduated from American Military University in 2018 with a BA.

David Lowe is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 91st House district. He replaced previous state representative Stephanie Klic in 2025.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
