The Miss Texas competition was founded in 1937 as a scholarship contest for young women. The winner represents Texas in the Miss America pageant; three winners have gone on to be crowned Miss America (but none since 1975).

To become Miss Texas, a contestant must first win a local competition. A young woman may compete at the local and state level more than once, but may only compete in the national Miss America competition one time. Hundreds of women participate each year in the local pageants, culminating in the selection of local finalists who compete for the Miss Texas title each July. The state pageant was held in Fort Worth for 36 years before relocating to the University of Texas at Arlington's Texas Hall in 2009. In 2012, the pageant moved to the Allen Event Center in suburban Collin County.[1] In 2014 the Miss Texas pageant began being held at the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts in Richardson, Texas.[2]

In 2010, Miss Texas celebrated its 75th anniversary, and Randy Pruett wrote a book, A Dream as Big as Texas, to document the stories of the 75 women that were crowned Miss Texas.[3]

Annette Addo-Yobo of Southlake was crowned Miss Texas 2024 on June 29, 2024, at Eisemann Center in Richardson, Texas. She is the first immigrant-born and Ghanaian woman to win the title.[4] She will compete for the title of Miss America 2025 at the 97th Miss America pageant.
