The Texas League is a minor league baseball league which operates in the South Central United States. It is classified a AA (double-A) league. The leagues offical website can be found at [texas-league.com]. The league was first formed in 1888, and has had member teams located in several of the surrounding states, including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, and most recently Missouri. The league is divided into an North Division and a South Division. The Southern Division is made up of teams entirely in Texas.

A bloop single dropping between the infielders and outfielders has been called a Texas Leaguer since the early 20th century, despite no evidence that it originated in or was any more common in the Texas League than elsewhere.
