The Texas Trail of Fame is a cowboy hall of fame in Fort Worth, Texas. Established in 1997, the building is located at 130 E. Exchange Avenue, in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District of the city.
The hall honors individuals who have contributed to the Western way of life. Bronze markers have been installed for each inductee. The markers are designed to resemble a frontier marshal's badge and each is inscribed with an inductee's name. New inductees are honored annually during ceremonies at the Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering and Western Swing Festival.
