All juniors in Texas public and charter schools have the opportunity to take the SAT for free through the genrosity of TEA.  The article on college board gives the specifics, but the bottom line is if you are a junior attending a Texas public or charter school you can take either the May or June SAT for free.  The key here is that you sign up soon as I anticipate that there will be quite a demand for the test.  Here is the link to the article on college board.
