About
PathMax Texas Paths is a public directory, not a counseling practice
Plain Steps publishes this site so Texas families can compare on-ramps before they sign a loan. A PathMax app is coming. This website is not that app.
Who operates this
Plain Steps is the operator brand. The site is faceless on purpose. You will not find a legal person name, a Facebook page, or a personal email address here. We do not take walk-in counseling appointments through this directory.
What we publish
Original explainers and comparison tables for Texas path types and a small set of starter careers. Every tuition or fee figure is copied from a school catalog, a Coordinating Board page, a licensing board, or a statute, and is dated. See the sources list.
Disclaimer
- This is information only.
- It is not admissions counseling.
- It is not legal advice or licensed professional advice.
- It is not a guarantee of admission, transfer credit, licensure, job placement, or earnings.
- “Guaranteed transfer” appears only when we are quoting a current, dated Texas Direct or articulation statement and linking it.
- Verify every number and rule with the school, THECB, or the licensing board before you enroll or borrow.
What this is not
This is not an Android project, not a closed test listing, and not a waitlist. We will not collect your name or email until a real, privacy-respecting form exists and is configured to store nothing by default. If you want product news later, watch this site — do not look for a personal inbox.
Read the privacy policy for what we do and do not collect today.
