Foreign Nursing School Operating in TX, is it legal?

I would like to know if a foreign school can operate legally in TX. This foreign school (Omnibus International College Foundation) is located in Tarlac, Philippines. However, Omnibus is operating in Houston, TX through this Olra Foundation. I recently discovered this school is not accredited in the Philippines by CHED due to the fact that the Philippines no longer gives accredidation to 2 years programs for nursing. Addiitonally, the nursing students are doing their clinical portion through a hospital in Katy, TX. Is that legal as well? I read that the clincal portion has to be done in the same vacinity as the educational institution. I firmly believe that the school should not opeate at all in Houston, TX or anywhere in the USA if it is not accredited here or in thet Philppines.

Every state has a body which licenses nursing schools, colleges and universities, trade schools, etc. I would go to the State of Texas's web site and search for either the agency which licenses nurses or the the one which licenses trade schools -- if that agency does not issue the license, they can tell you who does.
