The Texas Brotherhood of Steel is a splinter faction of the original Brotherhood of Steel. It controls the areas around Texas.

History
After the death of Maxson, Rhombus, head of the Paladins, became the new High Elder. After the death of the Master, the Brotherhood of Steel helped the other human outposts drive the mutant armies away with minimal loss of life on both sides of the conflict. However, a super mutant faction under the leadership of Attis moved east and attempted to recreate the mutant army in Texas using a Secret Vault. Rhombus, despite some criticism from the other elder council of West coast Brotherhood of Steel, started a crusade against the still existent threat of a Super Mutant army, now led by Attis. They traveled East to Texas. Here, they discovered a prototype vault which was abandoned and installed their main base of operations in this area. Their principal mission was to eradicate all super mutants. For this reason they created a new icon which featured dual pistols atop a pair of wings colored red.

Symbol
To symbolize their mission, they created a new icon, two pistols above a pair of wings. The dual pistol symbolize their desire to eradicate the mutants and the wings, uplifting hope.

Ranks
The Texas BOS has a rank system that differs from the original Brotherhood Ranks. In Texas, the Scribes are rare and remain inside the main base. They take the place of both Scribes and Knights from the Western BoS. Texas Knights are just a military rank lower in the hierarchy than Paladins (even lower one being Squire and Initiate).

Ranks:
 * Initiate
 * Squire
 * Knight
 * Paladin
 * Elder

Appearances in games
The Texas Brotherhood appears only in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. The name "Texas Brotherhood of Steel" was never used in the game, but was made up by fans to diffrentiate it from the original Brotherhood. It was also going to appear in the canceled Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2.
