Texas Historical Markers program has been in operation for many years. Especially earlier markers may not have associated geographical information, and of some of those that do, their location may be off by almost a mile. We have corrected these discrepancies as much as we could, but some issues may still remain. So if you come across an error, please help us improve the App by sending us an email on the marker’s text link.
Drive friendly, the Texas way!
