Community College courses for 15 year old...
#12
Ok, so the good news is that Texas allows teens to enroll in college classes at the community college. The bad news (relatively) is that Texas colleges all decide the specifics for themselves. This makes it hard for parents to wrap their heads around what is allowed and required for enrollment and tuition costs because often when you talk to someone you'll hear one thing, while someone else's experience will be totally different.
I have a Texas Homeschooling for College Credit group- which you are welcome to join (just do a search for it on Facebook) and ask the parents questions (I don't live in Texas, so am not an expert) but I will provide info here that other parents have shared/found there. I like to answer posts on this page instead of sending people elsewhere.

all of the Alamo schools call it Dual Credit - and offer 1 free course per semester but the age isn't listed, so worth checking. https://www.alamo.edu/sac/dual-credit/

Austin Community College district allows dual enrollment/ dual credit as well as Early College ( a different program only just offered to homeschoolers) and has a tuition waiver program you have to apply for. They cap you at 2 courses per term. Ages not listed http://sites.austincc.edu/dual-credit/

University Texas RGV has many restrictions but is free. Is open only to Jr/Sr high school students (dual, concurrent) https://www.utrgv.edu/undergraduate-admi.../index.htm

Non-Texas Regionally Accredited options: Liberty University upon completion of 10th grade (note no age, so you as the parent can decide when that is) http://www.liberty.edu/onlineacademy/dua...dmissions/

BYU University - any age/grade for college credit as well as AP courses if interested. https://is.byu.edu/
