The Texas Open is an annual women's pro squash tournament that takes place alternately in Dallas and Houston, United States in the first half of the year.

It was not a men's professional tour event, but as the prize grew, the number and quality of pro players accepting an invitation to participate increased.

As Rishad Alikhan reported “From the Courts” following the Oct. 23-25 event in : “This year’s event offered $8500 in prize money in the Open draw and saw the largest number of participants in the tournament’s history with 112 players participating in 127 slots in 10 draws.” The Open final was a 3–1 upset victory for English pro Nick Taylor (at the time ranked 35 in the world) over 1997 World Champion, Australian Rodney Eyles, (ranked 4 at the time).

A record number of amateurs played and partied while enjoying professional squash competition in the form of a $36,000 WISPA Gold tour event.

Jackman was sidelined with a back injury, but Carol Owens returned to beat Natalie Grainger in the final and repeat as champion.

Custody of the Texas Open has continued to be jointly held by Houston and Dallas ever since, right up to this year's eighth consecutive annual installment in.

The series' permanent trophy cup was contributed by starting with the 2005 event and now even features in the WSF's Squash 2016 promotional video.
