Texas Education Code section 29.358(h)(2)’s “other relevant law” provision incorporates by reference other laws that govern the lawful operation of educational service providers and vendors that aspire to participate in the Texas Education Freedom Accounts program. This includes the prohibition on property ownership by transnational criminal organizations as well as the categorical bar on providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations, both of which govern educational service providers and vendors alike. But the Legislature has charged the Comptroller with the exclusive duty of finding facts on which such “relevant law” can be applied.
