The TSUS does not have a flagship university. All of its comprehensive universities are regarded as stand-alone institutions equal in stature under system administration.

The [[University of North Texas]] and [[West Texas A&M University]] were founding members of the Texas State University System along with Sam Houston State and Texas State.
