The Copa De Tejas was a preseason summer soccer tournament hosted by the Houston Texans NFL franchise at Reliant Stadium. The tournament featured clubs from Liga MX and the Premier League. The tournament was created to help establish the Reliant Stadium as a soccer venue, as well as persuade Major League Soccer to award an expansion franchise to the Houston market, which was awarded in 2006 with the Houston Dynamo.
There were two preseason tournaments held, in 2003 and 2004. Mexican side, Cruz Azul won the first tournament, and fellow Mexican outfit, Club América won the second and final tournament.
