I don't think schooling can cause you to be kicked off disability. My understanding is that they would certainly like you to become independent. They have a program (that my daughter is on), that gives you incentives to work toward that. And if you start working, you can keep disability on a special program they have that changes the amount you get based on your income. And if you ever do 'phase out' of disability, you can get put right back on if something happens and you lose your job. You might want to talk to someone who knows for sure about that stuff, but that's my understanding of how it works in Texas. My daughter has worked part-time for the last 1.5 years and still has disability.
