# 4.2A Items Commonly Approved For Reimbursement (Texas)
There are so many creative ways families use their wallet funds to support personalized learning. Because the possibilities are nearly endless, it's not possible for us to list **every** item that could be reimbursed. Instead, below you’ll find examples of **commonly approved** expenses that align with most educational plans.
**💡Tip:** When submitting a reimbursement, include a short note about **how your student will use the item**. This helps our team connect it to your education plan—and we love hearing about the creative ways our students are learning!
