Texas Association of Authors created the Best of Texas Book Awards at the end of 2011. They held their contest through 2019 until they merged with Indie Beacon and created the Authors Marketing Guild. AMG then became an international organization helping authors around the world.

Texas Authors Institute of History, Inc., did not want to lose the continuation of honoring Texas Authors, so in 2020, they took over the awards program. Below are links to each year that TAIH continues to honor the best in Texas books.

We hope that authors will continue to submit their books and be part of a great collection of award-winning books and authors.
