A University of Texas student is the new Miss Texas USA 2026.
Alexis Maxine Fuetsch, a current UT junior studying public relations, advertising and applied communication with a pre-law track, reposted the news on her Instagram, writing, “Thank you so much!!! So excited!!!”
Fuetsch won the crown roughly a week ago, after representing San Antonio in the Lone Star Statewide pageant. Congratulatory messages about her new title filled her social media page.
Fuetsch is a photographer who has worked as an intern with the San Antonio Spurs, according to her LinkedIn page, and serves as gala chair for the Children’s Rehabilitation Institute TeletonUSA.
She attended Saint Mary’s Hall in San Antonio before going to UT, where she is expected to graduate next spring.
Fuetsch will represent Texas at the 2026 Miss USA pageant from August 24 to 27 in Miami.
