From Spanish missions to the space race, the landscape, culture, economy and people of Texas have played essential roles in the development of the United States.

TSLAC also invites Texans of all ages to join its statewide Texas America250 Reading Challenge in 2026. Additional resources from TSLAC’s extensive library collections, the Talking Book Program and the Texas Center for the Book will be available later this year.
