<p>Texas Protects Dual Language Education</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Texas has been an advocate for dual language education since 1973 when former Governor Dolph Briscoe signed into law the Bilingual Education and Training Act, which abolished the English-only teaching requirement imposed in 1918. This April, Texas Senator

House.</p>
