First Step, Visit the State of Texas Official GED Site for Information
If you have any question about taking the GED test in the state of Texas, visiting Texas’s official website at Texas State GED is essential. So far, I have studied the New York and California state websites regarding GED information. The easiest website to date has been the New York State GED web page.
Official Texas GED Test centers took a while to find on the Internet, click herefor more information. It’s unclear how current the Texas GED test center page is because there’s no last update stamp on it, but it’s a seemingly long list of possible test centers.
At this time I can’t easily find a list of GED preparation centers in Texas.
