No. According to Section 33.0832(e) of the Texas Education Code: A non-enrolled student may only participate in a league activity for the school in the school district that the student would be eligible to attend based on the student's residential address. A non-enrolled student who seeks to participate in a league activity on behalf of a school shall be required to establish minimum proof of residency acceptable to the district in the same manner as an applicant to attend a school in the district under Section 25.001.

Homeschool students will be required to follow the same rules and procedures as any other student, including completing a Previous Athletic Participation Form (PAPF), and will be subject to eligibility rules, including the 15-day rule, if applicable. If the student moved into the attendance zone within the previous 12 months, or is participating at a school outside the attendance zone where the parents reside, the DEC should review the form, and upon request of a DEC member, a full hearing of the DEC may be required for varsity participation. This review process allows the DEC to determine if the student's move was motivated by UIL participation, and to verify the school is the closest one geographically to the student's residence, as required by law.

According to Section 33.0832(e-1) of the Texas Education Code: If the school that a non-enrolled student would be eligible to attend under Subsection (e) is subject to a policy adopted under Subsection (c-2) (ISD opts out), the student may participate in a league activity for the closest school, based on geographic proximity to the student's residential address, that is not subject to a policy adopted under Subsection (c-2).

Yes, as long as the school district in which the student resides did not opt out of participation for homeschooled students. The student must comply with all applicable eligibility rules prior to varsity-level participation, including the 15-day rule. For students who begin participation after the sixth class day of the school year, the first day of practice counts as day 1 of the 15 calendar days.
