Texas's Indian Community, at a Glance
Houston and Dallas are home to two of the largest and fastest-growing Indian communities in the United States.

Many families search online as well: see our guide to Hindu and community matrimonial sites in the USA.
Telugu Families in Texas: Associations, Temples and Matrimony
Texas has the second-largest Telugu-speaking population in the United States, about 150,000 people, after California (US Census Bureau figures reported by Language Magazine, 2024). Most live in the Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston areas.
Telugu associations
- Telugu Association of North Texas (TANTEX), Dallas–Fort Worth. A non-profit, non-religious association formed in 1986. It runs festival events, Telugu radio programs on Dallas stations and the Telugu Velugu magazine.
- Telugu Cultural Association (TCA), Houston. Founded in 1976, it runs Telugu language schools for children and community Ugadi and Sankranthi celebrations.
A temple with marriage services
Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple (North Texas Hindu Society)
7447 Hillcrest Rd #107, Frisco, TX 75035
Run by the North Texas Hindu Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Vivaaham (marriage) is on its list of temple services; contact the temple for dates and requirements.
Finding a Telugu match in Texas
Many Telugu families in Dallas and Houston still start with relatives and association events, then search online. Searching by city matters: a match in Frisco or Sugar Land is a very different proposition from one in another state. Start with Telugu matrimony in the USA, narrow by sub-community with Kamma, Reddy or Kapu profiles, and check porutham and kundali compatibility before families talk.
