As part of the centennial of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA), I created a spreadsheet of all research posters listed in TMEA Conference Programs (1981-2020) and manuscripts published in Texas Music Education Research (1978-2018), including 1393 studies by 488 researchers. Factors examined included: growth of the research poster session (11-80 entries per year), research leadership, milestones in Texas research, productivity of researchers based on participation in research poster sessions (1-69 entries per researcher), productivity of affiliated universities involved (state, national and international), and an examination of participants studied, research methodologies employed by decade, and a consideration of research topics chosen then and now with speculation about possible changes in focus over the past 42 years of research activity in Texas.
