This page details the Miss Texas Teen USA titleholders who have competed at Miss USA or competed in Miss USA state pageants. Click here for a full listing of Miss TX USA & Teen USA titleholders.

Texas is well known for a large number of former Teen titleholders who competed for years at Miss Texas USA and came close to winning but didn't quite make it. In 2002, all of their Teen titleholders from 1995 to 2000 competed, a record for the most former teens from one state competing at a Miss USA state pageant (although only two placed). All four Miss Texas Teen USA titleholders who won Miss Texas USA had competed in the state pageant previously. Three of the four placed at Miss USA, all part of a small group of titleholders who placed in both pageants. The most successful was Nicole O'Brian, first runner-up at Miss Teen USA and second runner-up at Miss USA. Lauren Guzman (08) is so far the only former Texas Teen who has placed in the top five every year she competed at Miss Texas USA, finally winning in 2014.
