Who we are

The Lone Star Legacy Award emerged from a deep appreciation for the unparalleled spirit of Texas - a state known for its rich history, boundless innovation, and unwavering commitment to community. This prestigious recognition was born out of a desire to honor the businesses that embody the very essence of what makes Texas exceptional.

In the heart of the Lone Star State, where determination meets opportunity, the idea for this award took root. Texas has always been a land of pioneers, from the early settlers who tamed the frontier to the modern-day entrepreneurs who are reshaping industries. It was clear that the state needed a way to recognize and celebrate the companies that continue this legacy of excellence.

The award was conceived as a tribute to the unique Texas spirit - a spirit that combines rugged individualism with a strong sense of community, that values hard work and ingenuity in equal measure. It was designed to shine a spotlight on businesses that not only drive economic growth but also uphold the values that Texans hold dear.

Since its inception in 2014, the Lone Star Legacy Award has become a symbol of distinction in the Texas business community. It represents more than just commercial success; it embodies the idea that true excellence comes from making a positive impact on society while pushing the boundaries of innovation.

The award draws inspiration from various aspects of Texas culture and history. The name "Lone Star" pays homage to the iconic Texas flag, symbolizing the state's independent spirit. The word "Legacy" speaks to the enduring impact that these businesses have on the state's economy, culture, and future.

As the award has grown in prestige, it has become a catalyst for excellence across the state. It has inspired companies to not only strive for business success but to also consider their role in shaping the future of Texas. The rigorous selection process ensures that only those companies that truly exemplify the best of Texas are recognized, setting a high standard for others to aspire to.

Today, the Lone Star Legacy Award stands as a testament to the exceptional quality of Texas businesses. It celebrates companies that innovate like the pioneers of old, that build communities as strong as the Alamo, and that dream as big as the Texas sky. This award is more than a recognition - it's a reflection of the greatness of Texas itself, and a promise of the even brighter future that lies ahead for the Lone Star State.
