Googling around to try to figure out why our experiences are different, I found that the requirement was only brought back in 2019 for second and third graders. It appears Texas stopped requiring it in the early 2000s, only to bring it back a few years ago. If your children passed third grade before the 2019-2020 school year, they wouldn't have run into the requirement. https://www.fox4news.com/news/cursive-handwriting-requirement-returns-to-texas-classrooms-this-fall https://www.fox4news.com/news/cursive-handwriting-requiremen...
