Texas does not officially celebrate Columbus Day as a state holiday due to a growing recognition of the negative impact of European colonization on Indigenous peoples. In 2021, Texas passed legislation designating the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples' Day instead. This change reflects a broader movement to honor Native American history and culture while acknowledging the complexities of historical narratives surrounding figures like Christopher Columbus. As a result, many Texans now observe Indigenous Peoples' Day rather than Columbus Day.
