I'm happy for the Texas public safety workers who are getting free tuition for certain specific programs. I'm also appreciative of your original helpful post. I think people need to know it's not necessarily easy or common - a student shouldn't expect to be able to force a school to provide it. I've argued the case for free EMS related tuition at two schools without success.
As far as tuition for senior citizens, a school can choose to do it or not.
"Sec. 54.365. The governing board of an institution of higher education may allow a senior citizen to enroll for credit in up to six hours of courses offered by the institution each semester or summer term without payment of tuition if space is available."
