How we verify Texas dates
Texas doesn't have one single calendar for the whole state. That's why we don't just copy one PDF. A real person on our team checks the Texas Department of Education website and cross-references the largest districts to find the most common dates. For the 2026–2027 year, most Texas students start around August 12, 2026, finish around May 27, 2027, and take spring break around March 15–19, 2027. These are reference dates, not statewide mandates. We last checked this page on October 19, 2026.
