There is no online application process for filling P-EBT Texas. To apply for the P-EBT Texas funds, here are the steps you need to follow.
If your child’s school is a part of the P-EBT program, they will then forward a link to you for filling up the application form for the P-EBT program for your child. Once you fill it up, you will have to submit the application.
