St. Francis of the Tejas Catholic Church is located in the piney woods and gently rolling hills of Houston County, Texas - and the City of Crockett. Houston County, the first official county in Texas, was named for the hero of the fight for Texas Independence, Sam Houston; Crockett was named for Davy Crockett, who gave his life seeking Texas' independence. St. Francis of the Tejas, originally established in 1690, was the first Catholic Church in what 147 years later would become Houston County, and was named after St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis, our Church, and our county are all rich in history.

St. Francis of the Tejas extends a warm welcome to all those searching for a deeper relationship with God and our Lord, Jesus Christ. Come join us for Mass - whether it has been a while since you last attended Mass, are considering settling here in Houston County, or are just passing through - all are welcome!

St. Francis is re-opening for public Mass on Friday, May 1, 2020. See new schedule and guidelines!!
