Rice University Professor of Political Science Mark Jones said that those most affected by these rules are the school system.
"So there's a lot that relates to public education, so the school year just started, but we have legislation that bans pretty much all aspects of DEI in public schools," Jones said.
Another big education plan is Senate Bill 2, also known as the school voucher program, which establishes an education savings account program.
However, while the bill takes effect on Monday, the voucher program is not expected to begin until the next school year.
"At the college level, we've also seen a piece of legislation that gives the region much more control and influence over what is done in colleges in terms of oversight," he said.
When it comes to abortion, with it already banned across the state starting Monday with Senate Bill 33, it will also ban cities and counties from helping people cover costs to travel out of town to get an abortion.
Legislators say this targets towns that had voter-approved programs that would help those seeking an abortion with funds for travel, meals, lodging, and more.

"Moving forward, now there's a very strict gender based assignment in terms of birth certificates and in terms of all government documents," said Jones.
Jones is talking about House Bill 229, which now requires someone's sex to be defined based on their biological reproductive systems, only allowing there to be a "man" and "woman" sexes in government IDs and documents.
Critics like those with the ACLU say it's a cruel and targeted attempt to erase trans, nonbinary, and intersex Texans.
While supporters of what they call the "Women's Bill of Rights" say the bill will protect women in sports, schools, and other shared spaces, ensuring women's safety.

Lastly, here on ABC13, we've been warning you about the so-called "jugging" crime.
It's where suspects target bank customers making withdrawals and follow and observe them for the right time to strike and steal their money.
Also on September 1st, House Bill 1902 criminalizes jugging, making it a first-degree felony for the first offense. Most first-degree felonies in Texas carry a minimum of five years in jail.
