According to the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), an undergraduate student, unless otherwise exempt, who enters a public institution of higher education in Texas will be tested for reading, writing, and mathematics skills prior to enrolling in any college-level academic coursework.
Below are the most current TSI exemptions based on standardized testing which are subject to change:

A score of 22 on the mathematics test shall be exempt for the mathematics section of the TSI Assessment. There is no composite score.
The use of scores from both the ACT administered prior to February 15, 2023, and the ACT administered after February 15, 2023, is allowable, as long as the benchmarks set forth in clause (ii) of this subparagraph are met.
