Tex combined an academic, rodeo, leadership and social career while at Sul Ross from 1951-55 when he graduated with a BS degree. Outside of Rodeo, Tex served as Vice President the Junior Class, 2nd Vice President in 1953 and 1st Vice President of the Clip & Brand 1954. Was President of Rodeo Club in 1953 & 1955. He was also a member of Alpha Chi, and was Brand Dance Rodeo Favorite.
In rodeo he worked all events but his specialty was the riding events. In his freshman year at Texas A&M, was named the All-Around Cowboy while placing in Bareback, Saddlebronc and Bull Doggin Events. Perhaps his most notable bull ride was at NIRA Championship Rodeo at Portland, Oregon, where he had to ride a previously unridden bull in order for Sul Ross to win their 4th National Title.
Tex continued to win and won the All-Around Title in 1953 at Texas Tech while placing in 4 events. In 1955 was the National NIRA Bull riding champ at the NIRA.
Induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest honor which can be bestowed on an individual by the ANRS & Rodeo Exes Association. This honor is for ANRS graduates or friends and recognizes those who have represented the Association, the ANRS Department, or Sul Ross State University with distinction through their personal and/or professional achievements which brought honor to our University. Nominations may be submitted by any member at any time. The ANRS & Rodeo Exes Board of Directors will periodically review nominations and determines inductees into the Hall of Fame. Inductions are not necessarily held annually, but rather when a sufficient pool of inductees is obtained. The induction ceremony is at the Annual Reunion held the last weekend of July in Alpine.
Make a nomination for a deservation individual for induction into the ANRS & Rodeo Exes Hall of Fame!
There is certainly room among these fine individuals for additional honorees. Please give some consideration to nominating a deserving individual for induction into the Hall of Fame.
