More About Texas

History

Sikhs began arriving in Texas in the 1960s and 1970s, initially as engineers in Houston's petrochemical and energy industry and as physicians at UT Health, Houston Methodist, and the Texas Medical Center — the world's largest medical complex. The 1970s oil boom accelerated Punjabi professional immigration to Houston. The community established one of the first Texas Gurdwaras in Houston in the 1980s. Dallas and Austin communities developed from the 1990s onward as Texas diversified economically. Notably, Sandeep Dhaliwal became the first Deputy Sheriff in Texas to wear a turban on duty in 2015, serving Harris County before his tragic death in the line of duty in 2019.

Services

Texas's Gurdwaras serve free Langar following Sunday Diwan, with the Houston Gurdwara among the most active in the South. Punjabi language and Gurbani classes are offered in Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Youth programs include Gatka, kirtan camps, and Sikh history. The Texas community has been prominent in national advocacy following Deputy Sheriff Dhaliwal's death. Several Gurdwaras host periodic Amrit Sanchar ceremonies.

Community Today

Today Texas's Sikh community is concentrated in three metros. Houston (Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, Stafford) hosts the state's largest community tied to the energy and medical sectors. Dallas–Fort Worth (Irving, Plano, Frisco, Carrollton, McKinney) serves a large technology and corporate professional community. Austin (Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville) has the fastest-growing Sikh community, reflecting the technology boom centered on Dell, Apple, Tesla, and Samsung. Vaisakhi in Houston draws thousands from across Texas.

Notable Gurdwaras

The Khalsa Darbar Houston is Texas's largest and most historic Gurdwara, serving the Greater Houston Sikh community. The Guru Granth Sahib Ji Gurdwara in Irving serves the Dallas–Fort Worth metro. The Sikh Gurdwara of Austin serves Central Texas's technology community. Together these institutions anchor Texas's large and growing Punjabi Sikh community across the state's three major metros.
