A school district or open-enrollment charter school shall make a requisition for a textbook on the conforming or nonconforming list through the commissioner to the state depository designated by the publisher or as provided by State Board of Education rule, as applicable, not later than June 1 of each year.

(2) printed copies of the portion of the textbook that will be used in the course.
(e) The commissioner may establish a list of equipment or devices that a school district or open-enrollment charter school may purchase using textbook credits or textbook credits in combination with other available funds to provide electronic access to open-source textbooks under Subsection (d)(1).
