Native American tribes in Texas are the Native American tribes who are currently based in Texas and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas who historically lived in Texas.
Many individual Native Americans, whose tribes are headquartered in other states, reside in Texas. The Texas Historical Commission by law consulted with the three federally recognized tribes in Texas and as well as 26 other federally recognized tribes headquartered in surrounding states.[1]
In 1986, the state formed the Texas Commission for Indian Affairs, later renamed the Texas Indian Commission,[2] to manage trust lands and assist three federally recognized tribes headquartered in Texas. However, the commission was dissolved in 1989.[3]
