Will I qualify for Section 8 housing as a full time college student?

I have one child, married. Wondering if I might qualify for Section 8. Texas. Make about 200-300.00 a month (one job 44.00-88.00 a week) one I babysit, 40-70.00 once a week. I am in college, honor student, so my time and energy goes there. The housing office is closed, but someone told me I might not qualify if I dont work much. My husband works commission and makes probably about the same.

1. I know in NY full time student can not qualified and NY is one of the more lenient states that usually allow people to get help, but Texas could be different. Also, they will take your income and your husbands income into account, so if together you make over property you would not qualify. Even if you do qualify they usually have very long waiting lists, so you could be waiting at least a few years. And landlords do not have to take section 8, so you may have to move to a apartment that does, and hate to ay it but it is usually only accepted in the lower neighborhoods. Try google to see if section 8 has a website .
