(2) postsecondary vocational and technical job | ||
training programs that are not part of approved courses or programs | ||
that lead to licensing, certification, or an associate degree under | ||
Chapters 61, 130, and 135, Education Code, and Subchapter E, | ||
Chapter 88, Education Code; | ||
(3) adult education programs under Subchapter H, | ||
Chapter 29, Education Code; | ||

supplemental nutrition assistance under Chapter 33, Human | ||
Resources Code. | ||
