Inductee Colonel Harold H. Blackshear, June 2015

The Hall of Honor was established by the Texas Military Department in 1980 to "recognize outstanding service and leadership" of Texas Military Forces service members operating under state or federal command.[1] As of 2018, it has 120 inductees.[2]

The Hall of Honor is hosted by the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry. It is both an exhibit with a digital kiosk that showcases inductee biographies, and an eponymous conference center that may be rented for conventions or banquets. Inductees also receive a trophy, which has varied in type since 1980.

Criteria

  • Hall of Honor inductee trophy
    Any former, living or deceased, service member or civilian employee of the Texas Military Department
  • Service members must have received an honorable discharge
  • Nominees must have retired/resigned at least three (3) years prior to the nomination date
  • Nominees must have performed a service/deed, while serving or employed, that reflects "great credit" upon the Texas Military Department
  • Nominees must have made an extraordinary and positive difference in the continual transformation of the Texas Military, changing the outlook and focus of the organization and/or shaping the organizational environment for the future
