In 1983 Mrs. Becky Terry, Texas CattleWomen, Inc. President, and a group of CattleWomen approached the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) management about hosting a State Beef "Cook-Off" at the Livestock Show. Two very successful back-to-back State "Cook-Off" were hosted by the HLSR at the 1984 and 1985 Shows.

After the second "Cook-Off", Peggy Jobes, Lin Adams Johnson and Sandy Scott started talking about forming a local organization in the Houston area. Through the influence and guidance of TCW past President, Becky Terry of Alpine and TCW president, Betty Huggins of Kerrville, they organized Texas Coastal Cattle Women, Inc. in 1986. As a result, these ladies graciously came to Houston to install the officers of the newly local organization, Texas Coastal Cattle Women, Inc..

TCCW is a hardworking group of ladies dedicated to informing consumers of the nutritional value of Beef and the importance of the Beef Industry and its contribution to the economy of the nation. TCCW believes in supporting youth in their education pursuit and continues this cause today.
