The Texas Mile Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in late April at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas. A Grade III event open to horses age three and older, it is contested on dirt over a distance of one mile (8 furlongs).
Inaugurated in 1997, in 1999 it became the first graded Thoroughbred stakes race in Texas.
In 2001, Dixie Dot Com became the only horse to win in the same year the Texas Mile and the Lone Star Park Handicap, known as "The Texas Two Step."
Among notable horses who ran in the Texas Mile but did not win were Skip Away, who finished third in 1997, and Real Quiet who finished second in 1999.
