From this website, which says Texas colleges will waive tuition and fees if you are dual-enrolled for high school and college credit: http://www.ncsl.org/programs/educ/HSStateLeg.htm

During the past four years, 14 states passed legislation to create or expand their dual enroll*ment programs and partnerships with postsecondary institutions. Six states addressed the costs of dual enrollment programs. In Mississippi and Missouri, loans would be provided to students to cover the costs. In Oklahoma, high school students are entitled to receive a tuition waiver of up to 6 credit hours per semester. In Tennessee, lottery proceeds are used to establish dual enrollment grants that cover the costs of college credits for eligible high school students. In Texas, higher education institutions are now permitted to waive tuition and fees for students who are enrolled in courses for which they will receive both high school and college credit. Wisconsin legislated that school districts must pay for tuition, fees, books and other necessary supplies; however, if a student fails or does not complete the course, the student must reimburse the school district
