TEA designed the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) to assess the progress that limited English proficient (LEP) students, also referred to as English learners (ELs), make in learning the English language. To view all EL resources, visit the EL webpage.

• Who? Students in grades K–12 who have been identified as an EL.
• What? TELPAS is an assessment program for students in Texas public schools who are learning the English language. The letters in TELPAS stand for the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System.
• When? TELPAS tests are given in the spring.
• Where? TELPAS tests are given to students at their own school, in regular classrooms that have been cleared and set up to make it easy to focus on the test. If students have certain special needs and require special accommodations, they may be tested in a different area of the school.
• Why? TELPAS tests are designed to measure the progress that each EL makes in becoming proficient in the use of academic English.
• How? TELPAS tests are offered in both paper and online formats.
