Scenic Texas was founded in 1980 by visionary corporate attorney Carroll Shaddock, inspired by a profound commitment to addressing the diminishing visual character of our great state. Over the decades, we have emerged as Texas’ leading advocate for preserving and enhancing its visual landscapes, building a robust network of affiliates and partners dedicated to safeguarding the aesthetic integrity of communities across the state.

At Scenic Texas, we recognize that every community possesses distinct scenic assets deserving protection. By collaborating with citizens, public officials, and neighborhood organizations, we elevate the visual quality of Texas’ environments, fostering spaces where individuals and communities can flourish.

We believe that beauty is not a luxury but a vital economic driver and a cornerstone of quality of life. Everyone deserves surroundings that inspire, uplift, and connect them to the natural world. Together, we are shaping a Texas where scenic preservation enriches both the people and the places we cherish.
