Sports Capital of Texas Tournaments:
The Sports Capital of Texas tourism campaign is an important component of the City’s overall economic development program. One weekend per month is reserved for official Sports Capital of Texas tournaments that have been bid on and recruited by our Convention and Visitors Bureau. These tournaments range from baseball and softball tournaments hosting over 100 teams, to soccer, cricket, and cross country meets.
