Het Texas Open is een golftoernooi in de Verenigde Staten en maakt deel uit van de Amerikaanse PGA Tour. Het toernooi vindt altijd plaats in San Antonio, Texas, en vindt sinds 2010 plaats op de TPC San Antonio.
De eerste editie was in 1922. Nadat het toernooi achttien keer onder de naam Texas Open was gespeeld werden de namen van diverse sponsors aan de naam toegevoegd. Sinds 2002 is de naam van het toernooi het Valera Texas Open.
Arnold Palmer is de enige speler die het toernooi drie keer achter elkaar won. Het baanrecord staat op naam van Tommy Armour III (254 in 2003). In 2009 werd het prijzengeld verhoogd tot ruim $ 6.000.000 waarvan de winnaar ruim een miljoen dollar krijgt. Bovendien krijgt de winnaar 500 punten voor de FedEx Cup.
