The event is named after Texanita, a successful French-trained sprinter in the 1960s. It was established in 2013, and initially held Listed status.[2]
The Prix Texanita was promoted to Group 3 level in 2015. The promotion was part of a restructured programme for three-year-old sprinters in Europe.[3]
