The Miss Texas competition was founded in 1937 as a scholarship contest for young women.

To become Miss Texas, a contestant must first win a local competition.

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.

In 2012, the pageant moved to the Allen Event Center in suburban Collin County.
