Texas Girl Coffee
Texas Girl Coffee is one of the early Hoffmann-Hayman house brands—named, on family tradition, for a niece and carried in the medallion portrait and bluebonnet artwork collectors chase hardest. It sits on the Welcome roster with H and H Blend, Sam Houston, and the rest, and often appears in 1930s display ads beside those lines (see Sam Houston Coffee label for the Brownsville Herald spread).
Texas Girl is widely regarded as the most collectible H and H coffee identity; even so, several retail formats in the reference lists are still missing or thin in the online museum—see Wanted below.
Products
- Texas Girl Coffee — one-pound tin
- Texas Girl Coffee — one-pound bag
- Texas Girl Coffee — three-pound bucket (still sought as a documented variant)
- Texas Girl Coffee — ½ pound “Baby Package”
- Large household pail — a four-pound wire-bail pail with Texas Girl livery is documented in Texas Girl four-pound pail (not the same wording as “3 pound bucket” on vintage price cards—treat both as large-format household packaging until more examples surface).
Options
- Drip grind
- Regular grind
- Pulverized grind
- Fine grind for glass brewers (blue sticker)

Wholesale sacks — printed H and H / Texas Girl shipping sacks for 24 × 1 lb retail bags (store-delivery scale, not the small consumer tin).
