§ 51.9095. STUDENT COMPLIANCE WITH SELECTIVE SERVICE
REGISTRATION. (a) An individual may not receive a loan, grant,
scholarship, or other financial assistance funded by state revenue,
including federal funds or gifts and grants accepted by this state,
or receive a student loan guaranteed by this state or the Texas
Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation, unless the individual files a
statement of the individual's selective service status with the
institution or other entity granting or guaranteeing the financial
assistance as required by this section.
(b) If an individual required by this section to file a
statement of the individual's selective service status files a
statement indicating that the individual is registered with the
selective service system as required by federal law, the individual
is not required to file a statement of the individual's selective
service status the next time the individual makes an application to
the same entity for financial assistance or a student loan
guarantee. If an individual required by this section to file a
statement of the individual's selective service status files a
statement indicating that the individual is not required to
register with the selective service system, the institution or
other entity shall require the individual to file a new statement of
the individual's selective service status the next time the
individual makes an application to the entity for financial
assistance or a student loan guarantee.
(c) This section does not apply to:
(1) a female individual if females are not subject to
general selective service registration under federal law; or
(2) an individual older than the maximum age at which
an individual is required to be registered with the selective
service system under federal law.
(d) The statement of an individual's selective service
status required by this section must require the individual to
certify that the individual:
(1) has registered with the selective service system
as required by federal law; or
(2) is exempt from selective service registration
under federal law.
(e) The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board shall
adopt rules for the administration of this section and shall
prescribe the statement to be used under this section. The
coordinating board shall notify each institution of higher
education of the required statement and the applicable rules. The
statement must require an individual claiming to be exempt from
registration to specify the basis of the exemption. The
coordinating board may require an individual filing a statement of
selective service status to include with the statement any
additional information or documentation the coordinating board
determines appropriate.
