List of German Texans
German Texans have historically played a role in history of the U.S. state of Texas.
Texans of German birth or descent have, since the mid-19th century, made up one of the largest ethnic groups in the state. By 1850, they numbered 5% of the total population—a conservative count. The 1990 census listed more than 17% of the population, nearly three million individuals, claiming German heritage.
