The 1970–71 Texas Chaparrals season was the fourth season of the Chaparrals in the American Basketball Association. In order to try to attract more fans, the Chaparrals adopted the Texas moniker, even playing games in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Tarrant County Coliseum along with Lubbock, Texas, at the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum. This practice was scrapped after the season, along with the moniker, as the team was renamed before the next season. For the fourth straight year, the Chaps made the playoffs, but for the third straight year in a row they bowed out in the Division Semifinals, once again to Utah.
