HB 5, passed by the Texas Legislature in 2013, restructured the state's graduation requirements allowing students to earn endorsements in specific areas of study.

Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, a school district must ensure that each student, on entering ninth grade, indicates in writing an endorsement that the student intends to earn.

A student may earn a distinguished level of achievement by successfully completing:

• a total of four credits in mathematics, which must include Algebra II

• a total of four credits in science

• the remaining curriculum requirements

• the curriculum requirements for at least one endorsement

A student must earn distinguished level of achievement to be eligible for top 10% automatic admission.
