We invite you to be part of the Ms. Texas Senior America Pageant 2025. This is not a beauty pageant, but an event that represents the "Age of Elegance." Our pageant champions healthy aging, wellness, and mental well-being, and our contestants exemplify the "positive image of aging." We are re-defining the senior woman by motivating and encouraging them to utilize their full potential. We honor all senior women with our pageant, giving the contestants a platform to demonstrate their dignity, maturity, inner beauty and talents.
