	SECTION ___.  Effective September 1, 2015, Subchapter U, 
Chapter 51, Education Code, is amended by adding Section 51.8035 to 
read as follows:
	Sec. 51.8035.  AUTOMATIC ADMISSION:  ALL INSTITUTIONS.  (a) 
Each general academic teaching institution shall admit an applicant 
for admission to the institution as an undergraduate student if the 
applicant graduated with a grade point average in the top 10 percent 
of the student's high school graduating class in one of the two 
school years preceding the academic year for which the applicant is 
applying for admission and the applicant graduated from a public or 
private high school in this state accredited by a generally 
recognized accrediting organization or from a high school operated 
by the United States Department of Defense. To qualify for 
admission under this section, an applicant must submit an 
application before the expiration of any application filing 
deadline established by the institution and, if the applicant 
graduated from a high school operated by the United States 
Department of Defense, must be a Texas resident under Section 
54.052 or be entitled to pay tuition fees at the rate provided for 
Texas residents under Section 54.058(d) for the term or semester to 
which admitted.
	(b)  After admitting an applicant under this section, the 
institution shall review the applicant's record and any other 
factor the institution considers appropriate to determine whether 
the applicant may require additional preparation for college-level 
work or would benefit from inclusion in a retention program.  The 
institution may require a student so identified to enroll during 
the summer immediately after the student is admitted under this 
section to participate in appropriate enrichment courses and 
orientation programs.  This section does not prohibit a student who 
is not determined to need additional preparation for college-level 
work from enrolling, if the student chooses, during the summer 
immediately after the student is admitted under this section.
