Texas League

Texas League history

There have been several leagues in Texas throughout the years, including the Texas Association (1925-1926) and the Texas Valley League (1927-1928). This is the direct lineage of the Texas League that exists to this day. (Note: in 1903-1906 this league split into two leagues — the Texas League and the South Texas League. The main Texas League was sometimes referred to as the North Texas League during this period.)
