About the School
Texas State School caters for students from Prep to Year 10 with current enrolment numbers at 148. Texas is situated on the Dumaresq River which marks the Queensland/New South Wales border so our school draws students from the town of Texas and the surrounding rural areas in Queensland and New South Wales.

In 2011 a new resource centre and a newly refurbished science laboratory were completed. We have excellent sporting facilities and the Texas sports complex is located adjacent to the school.We believe "Every child matters, every day.
