They hunted and gathered their food. They ate snakes, lizards, armadillos, worms, snails, Spiders, and insects. When it was especially difficult to find food, they would sometimes resort to eating rotten wood. With meat in short supply, plants formed the major part of the Coahuiltecans' diet. Women and children gathered leaves, Cati's fruit, and nuts. Cati's, mesquite, beans, and nuts was an important source of food. People that provided food were called " Shaman".

Coahuiltecans lived in dome -shaped huts made by cutting and bending young trees and covering them with reed mats and animals hides. They could quickly roll up the mats and hides and place them on their backs, and move to the next camp.

The Coahiltecan Indians wore very few clothes and made sandals for thier feet with fiber. Even though the Coahiltecan tribe wore very few clothes they took great pride in decorating their clothing material with seeds. Tattos were displayed on every Coahuiltecan member (men and women). The tattos were used both as decoration and important tribe family symbols.

Men were extremely strong and athletic. They hunted deer on foot and could run as fast as many animals without any rest.
