* For non-US citizens, TAMS requires green cards and Texas residency status. Residency is based upon the parent or court appointed legal guardian. Non-US citizens must provide copies of their Permanent Resident (green) cards.

Some parents and applicants with select visa types may also be eligible for Texas Residency.
