Texas districts
TPA Ventures for Texas school districts and cooperatives.
Pre-configured for the 45 school days evaluation clock, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and Texas Education Agency monitoring.
The full and individual initial evaluation report must be completed within 45 school days of receipt of written consent, extended by the number of school days the student is absent once the student has three or more absences in that period. If consent arrives at least 35 but fewer than 45 school days before the last instructional day, the report is due by June 30.

How we configure Texas
Evaluation clock
The full and individual initial evaluation report must be completed within 45 school days of receipt of written consent, extended by the number of school days the student is absent once the student has three or more absences in that period. If consent arrives at least 35 but fewer than 45 school days before the last instructional day, the report is due by June 30. (Tex. Educ. Code § 29.004; 19 TAC § 89.1011).
Initial IEP meeting
The admission, review and dismissal (ARD) committee must make eligibility, IEP and placement decisions within 30 calendar days of the date the written evaluation report is completed. If the 30th day falls in summer, the committee has until the first day of classes unless the evaluation shows a need for extended school year services. (19 TAC § 89.1011).
Goal alignment
SMART goals aligned to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), plus functional and adaptive domains.
IEP system & forms
No single statewide IEP system. TEA publishes a model IEP form and guidance, and districts use vendor platforms to document ARD committee decisions.
Transition planning
Transition components flagged for review by age 14, supporting Indicator 13.
Regulations loaded

What Texas Education Agency reviewers look for, built into every draft
- Child find and timely initial evaluations (Indicator 11)
- Cyclical and targeted special education program reviews under TEA's Results Driven Accountability framework

TPA Ventures drafts; your team decides. Every goal, accommodation and notice is reviewed and finalized by certified staff and parents. TPA Ventures does not make eligibility or placement determinations and does not replace the IEP team required by 34 CFR § 300.321.
Cut IEP drafting time by 60% while strengthening legal defensibility.
