The 2011 Texas State Bobcats football team represented Texas State University–San Marcos in the 2011 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Bobcats were led by Dennis Franchione in the 1st year of his second stint as the Bobcats' head coach and played their home games at Bobcat Stadium. Despite playing seven games against teams from their former conference, the Southland Conference, they were technically an FCS independent as they transitioned to the Football Bowl Subdivision. They will become a member of the Western Athletic Conference in 2012 and become a full FBS member in 2013. They finished the season 6–6.[1]
