Texas Tejano.com, a San Antonio-based Tejano History research and publishing company is proud to announce today its partnership with TEA – Region 13 (Austin, Texas) for the display of the world-class Tejanos in Texas Heritage Exhibit that will go on exhibit at the annual PASA Conference beginning Tuesday, Jan. 20th –21st, @ the Austin Convention Center.

Coming off a successful engagement at Texas A&M University in San Antonio, the Tejanos in Texas Heritage Exhibit continues its mission of filling in the gaps of Texas history by telling the true story of the Tejano founders of the state.

“This is truly an incredible honor not just for Texas Tejano.com, but for all Tejanos,” says Texas Tejano.com President and Founder Rudi R. Rodriguez. “Five years ago, Texas Tejano.com was privileged to bring its debut exhibit on the life of Jose Policarpio ‘Polly’ Rodriguez to the State Capitol. This time, we are telling the story of ALL Tejanos from the beginning of Texas.”

The Tejanos in Texas Heritage Exhibit chronicles over 150 years of Tejano and Texas history from beginning with its founding in 1690 through a collection of historical maps, documents, photos as well as original artwork, tells the life story of Tejanos from the beginning.

From its humble beginnings as the northern most province of New Spain, through the efforts of early Tejano exploration, colonization, ranching and revolutions starting with hero Bernardo de Gálvez during the American Revolutionary War, moving on to the epic Battle of the Medina and ultimately concluding with the Texas Revolution.
