It would be interesting to learn about the hierarchical organization in pre-independence Texas.
For pre-independence Texas: Until 1839, Texas was part of various Mexico dioceses. Most recently, from around 1777 until 1839, it was under the Diocese of Linares o Nueva Le贸n (currently the Archdiocese of Monterrey). In 1839, the Prefecture Apostolic of Texas of erected. This was upgraded to the Vicariate Apostolic of Texas in 1841. Finally, in 1847, the Vicariate was upgraded to a Diocese and the name was changed to Galveston. Kraft 15:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Twice this page has been moved by another editor to "Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston", the 2nd time the editor in question ignored the request of an Admin to open a discussion on the talk page. Therefore I am opening the discussion. WP Naming standards for Archdioceses typically follows the format of "Roman Catholic Archdiocese/Diocese of XXXXX". I believe we should stay with this format, for continuity sake as well WP:COMMONNAME. -- nsaum75 隆砖讬讞转!鈥 03:32, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
There appears to be a concerted effort to gloss over the sex abuse scandal of the dioceses in the United States by leaving out all references to it on the Diocesan web pages. Certainly a few salient statistics are worth noting on these pages. It did happen, you know. 鈥 Preceding unsigned comment added by Juzoitami ( talk 鈥 contribs) 16:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
I removed that paragraph. The page is about the history of the diocese. Not specific events. I think there is already a page that says this info. Spiel ( talk) 04:25, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
