How Lamar handles TOEFL scores
TOEFL scores must be sent by the testing service using Lamar's school code 6360. The page does not mention MyBest, Essentials, the Home Edition or score validity.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and Category I, and 6.5 for Category II.

If your TOEFL score is below Lamar's level
The page waives the requirement for applicants from an English waiver country, those with 48 credits taught in English, those who completed level 112 of intensive English at a US institution, and those with English Composition I and II at B or better from an accredited US institution. It does not describe conditional admission.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Lamar programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
