Texas Hall is a historic building on the former campus of Trinity University in Tehuacana, Texas, U.S.. The land was donated by John Boyd.[1] It was first designed in the Gothic Revival style by Joseph Schuster, and completed in 1871.[2] It was subsequently redesigned by architect James E. Flanders in the Second Empire style between 1886 and 1892.[2] Trinity University relocated to Waxahachie, Texas in 1902, and Westminster College moved into the building, up until 1942.[2] The building is now known as the Trinity Institute.[2]

The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 12, 1978.[3]
