Caps is an unincorporated community in Taylor County, Texas, United States.

The name was chosen in honor of the Butterfield Overland Mail line, a semi-weekly mail and passenger stage service from St. Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee, across northern Texas to San Francisco, California that operated from 1858 to 1861.

[3] The opening of the Camp Barkeley military installation in 1940 shifted area commercial activity to U.S. Highway 277.

[1] A year later in 1986, the city of Abilene annexed a portion of the community, fifty of which were View-Caps water customers.
