OK TEOG is limited to 2 year community colleges or Vocational Schools and it says residents so there may be a loophole there.
It looks like the TEXAS grant is good for any college in Texas.
So it appears that you are correct, although I see no mention of Illegal status mentioned in either of these programs.
It does appear that any “resident” could take advantage of them.
I stand corrected.
Yes...that is where the TX. Legislature came in...they wrote laws establishing “residency” for illegals (just like CA.) and thus the IRCOT suit.
They are required to sign an affidavit that they will apply for citizenship but in actuality they cannot because an illegal alien that has overstayed beyond 6 months cannot apply for such a status until after 10 years.
The lawyer on record was a former TX. Supreme Court judge.
