In 2021, Governor Greg Abbott directed TEA, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC), and the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) to develop standards to ensure students are not exposed to inappropriate content in school libraries. In 2025, the 89th Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 13 (SB13) relating to a school district's library materials and catalog.
All requests to order new library materials, to add library material to the library catalog, and to accept donated library materials at the district or campus levels should be presented to the assistant superintendent for review. Library material recommendations should also consider feedback and suggestions from stakeholders, including parents, educators, and community members. Materials under consideration for acquisition must be posted on the district website for a minimum of 30 calendar days prior to any board action. Library materials cannot be procured or otherwise acquired unless and until receiving board approval.
