Nancy Gonzalez, Miss Texas USA 2017 was due to crown her successor on labor day weekend. Unfortunately mother nature had other plans as Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas gulf coast and caused a year's worth of rain to fall in the Houston area. The directors of Texas USA decided to postpone the pageant until January 5th and 6t. My heart goes out to all of the families who have lost their homes from this terrible storm and I hope everyone remains #HoUStonStrong.
There are several 2017 semifinalists returning: Isabella Radovan, Taylor Lowrey, Logan Lester, Hannah Johannes, and Katie Scott as well as last year's 2nd runner up Vanessa Garza and 3rd Runner Up Alejandra Gonzalez. Competing in Miss for the first time will be Miss Teen USA 2011 Danielle Doty who also held the title of Miss Texas Teen USA 2011. She is the first Miss Teen USA winner since Katie Blair (Miss Teen USA 2006) competed in California in 2011 to attempt to win a Miss crown!
