Governor Greg Abbott has announced that nominations are now open for the 2025 Texas Women’s Hall of Fame. The Governor's Commission for Women is responsible for accepting these nominations.

"In Texas, we believe in the extraordinary power of women," said Governor Abbott. "The Texas Women’s Hall of Fame pays homage to the incredible contributions that women have made to the great state of Texas. Each woman inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame serves as an example for all Texans and inspires future generations to reach new heights. If you have been blessed to know a woman who pioneers in business, education, philanthropy, or public service, I encourage you to nominate her for the Texas Women's Hall of Fame."

Established in 1984 by the Governor's Commission for Women, the Texas Women's Hall of Fame recognizes notable achievements by women in various fields such as business, education, philanthropy, and public service. Nominations are made biennially by Texans and inductees are selected by an independent panel of judges. Past honorees include former First Ladies, astronauts, entrepreneurs, public servants, Olympic athletes, and other accomplished women.

Nominations for this year's hall can be submitted until Friday, May 2, 2025.
