The discography of Scottish pop rock band Texas contains 10 studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums and 45 singles. Their most successful single to date is "Say What You Want" (1997), which peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. Texas made their performing debut in March 1988 at Scotland's University of Dundee. They took their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas . The band released their debut album Southside in 1989, along with the debut single "I Don't Want a Lover", which was a worldwide success, charting at number eight on the UK Singles Chart and other high charting positions in Europe. Southside debuted at number three in the United Kingdom and number 88 on the US Billboard 200 album chart. Despite the success of Southside, follow-up albums Mothers Heaven and Ricks Road were less successful in the UK.

Texas' White on Blonde album was one of the best selling albums of 1997. To date, it has been certified six-fold platinum in the UK, making it the band's best selling UK album. Their only other album to reach a six-fold platinum certification was 2000's The Greatest Hits . Follow up The Hush was also successful, debuting at number one on the UK album charts and being certified triple platinum. Texas released a further two studio albums, Careful What You Wish For in 2003, and Red Book in 2005, both of which were certified gold in the UK. After the release of Red Book and a tour to support the album's release, Texas entered a self-imposed hiatus. Lead singer Sharleen Spiteri launched a successful solo career, releasing her debut solo album Melody in 2008.

The band returned from their hiatus in 2013, releasing the album The Conversation which reached the top ten in Scotland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Switzerland and France. The lead single of the same name saw Texas return to the UK Singles Charts for the first time since "Sleep" in 2006. The Conversation was certified Platinum in France, indicating sales in excess of 130,000 copies, ^[1] and achieved Gold certification in the United Kingdom. ^[2] A compilation album, Texas 25 was released in 2015, and featured the single "Start a Family", which featured guest vocals by actor Alan Rickman. ^[3] Their ninth studio album, Jump on Board , was released in 2017 and spawned the singles "Let's Work It Out" and "Tell That Girl" which were commercial hits in Belgium. Their tenth studio album, Hi was released in 2021, and saw the band collaborate once again with the Wu-Tang Clan, previously having done so in 1998 with "Say What You Want (All Day, Every Day)". The second single, "Mr Haze", was a moderate success in Belgium. A compilation album, The Very Best of 1989–2023 was released in June 2023, reaching number one in Scotland, and the top ten in the United Kingdom, Belgium and France. ^{[4] [5]}
