State-recognized tribes

edit

From time to time, the Texas state legislature has issued honorific bills that mention organizations, this isn't the same as being able to formally recognize a tribe as a state. Texas has "no legal mechanism to recognize tribes."[1] Texas has no state-recognized tribes.[2]

Texas Senate Bill 274 to formally recognize the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas, introduced in January 2021, died in committee.[3] -Yuchitown (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2022 (UTC)YuchitownReply
