The 4th time is the charm. My daughter, AnnMarie, on April 29, 2023 competed in the Mrs. Texas Pageant in Corsicana, Texas.

At the end of the evening, she was crowned Mrs. Texas American 2023.

AnnMarie also won the “Contestant’s Choice” award. This was voting by all the delegates for the question: “If you were not to win, WHO would you choose to win?” And, of course, you cannot vote for yourself.
Mrs. Texas American will make appearances during her year at many events across Texas. She will compete for Mrs. America in Las Vegas in August 2023.
