Reservations in Texas

 * Currently There are three Indian Reservations in Texas:


 * Alabama-Coushatta Reservation, in Polk County, Texas. The Alabama–Coushatta Reservation was established in 1854,[12] when the state bought "1,110.7 acres of land for the Alabama Indian reservation. About 500 tribe members settled on this land during the winter of 1854–55. In 1855, the Texas legislature appropriated funds to purchase 640 acres for the Coushattas" but never followed through.They acquired more land, so today their reservation is 4,593.7 acres large, located 17 miles east of Livingston, Texas in the Big Thicket area. The Coushatta began to live with the Alabama on their reservation.Reservation.


 * Kickapoo Reservation, in Maverick County, Texas. The Kickapoo Indian Reservation of Texas is located on the Rio Grande on the U.S.-Mexico border in western Maverick County, just south of the city of Eagle Pass, as part of the community of Rosita South. It has a land area of 120 acres. About 960 tribal members are living on the Eagle Pass reservation and tribal lands in Nacimiento, Mexico, where the tribe often holds ceremonies.


 * Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, in El Paso County, Texas, (also Tigua Pueblo) is a Puebloan Native American tribal entity in the Ysleta section of El Paso, Texas. Its members are Southern Tiwa people who had been displaced from Spanish New Mexico from 1680 to 1681 during the Pueblo Revolt against the Spaniards.

The boundaries of reservations, over time, have changed. Usually, that means the reservations have been reduced in size. Sometimes, especially during the later policy of "termination," the official status of reservations was ended altogether.

The following list of reservations has been compiled from the National Atlas of the United States of America, the Omni Gazetteer of the United States of America , and other sources. Those reservations named in bold are current federally-recognized reservations, with their associated agency and tribe(s). Others have historically been associated with the state or are not currently recognized by the federal government.
