Texas has always been one of the premiere state pageants, televised for many years and with a big production budget and hundreds of contestants – this experience at the state level was part of the formula that fuelled their success at Miss USA for many years. Winning Texas is no easy feat, with many competing multiple times before capturing the crown (even Chelsi Smith, Kandace Krueger and Crystle Stewart didn’t win on their first try). Perhaps in part due to this, Texas is renown for its contestants going on to win in other states, including Miss America 1982 Debbie Maffett and Miss USA 2019 first runner-up Alejandra Gonzalez. A unique bit of history was made in 2001, when six former Texas Teen USA titleholders competed for the Miss Texas USA 2002 title. If you’re a Texas pageant fan, I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane.
