The pageant held on February 14 in Dallas, Texas and featured 12 contestants representing the various chapters in the District.

After several rounds of competition the top seven candidates included Miss Adebisi Andenji Adele - Miss Black and Gold Eta Gamma Chapter (Prairie View A&M University) and Miss Kieara Hooey - Miss Black and Gold Epsilon Tau Lambda Chapter (Prairie View - Alumni).  The contestants in this round presented their talent routine, eveningwear and on-stage question.  When the final scores were tallied, Adebisi Andenji Adele was crowned Miss Black and Gold Texas, with Keiera Hooey as the first runner up to Miss Black and Gold Texas.  On hand for the crowning was Miss Nadia Green the outgoing Miss Black and Gold Texas and former Miss Black and Gold Eta Gamma. Incidentally, Nadia was first runner-up in the Southwest Regional Miss Black and Gold pageant in 2014.
