The Texas Tennis Museum and Hall of Fame is an independent organization dedicated exclusively to preserving and celebrating the history of tennis in Texas. While we are located within the Texas Sports Hall of Fame complex in Waco and enjoy a strong partnership, we operate separately with our own board, mission, and programs. During the banquet at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, you will have access to multiple museums under one roof, including the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame and the Southwest Conference (SWC) exhibits, in addition to the Texas Sports Hall of Fame and the Texas Tennis Museum and Hall of Fame.
