The bill, S.B. No. 762, amends the Education Code by adding Section 1.0031, which establishes regulations regarding the display of flags in public elementary and secondary schools in Texas. Under this new section, schools are prohibited from displaying any flags other than a specified list, which includes the United States flag, the state flag, flags representing Indian tribes, the Prisoner of War or Missing in Action flag, and several others, including flags of political subdivisions and educational institutions. The bill also outlines the definition of "display" and sets forth the conditions under which certain flags may be displayed temporarily as part of the curriculum.

Additionally, the bill provides a mechanism for parents or guardians to take action if a school violates these flag display regulations. If a school fails to remedy a violation after being notified, the parent or guardian may seek an injunction against the school. The school is required to respond to the notice of violation within ten business days, detailing the remedy implemented. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the law is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still stand.
