Texas Education Code Section 25.091 provides that a complaint or referral for failure to attend school is to be filed after a student has a certain number of absences “without excuse”. Section 25.087 provides that a student’s absence may be excused for “any cause acceptable to the teacher, principal or superintendent”.
