Fort Worth Texas Temple
The Fort Worth Texas Temple was among those announced by President Russell M. Nelson during the closing session of the October 2021 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When it is completed, it will be the sixth temple in Texas. Other Texas temples are the neighboring Dallas Texas Temple, Houston Texas Temple, Lubbock Texas Temple, San Antonio Texas Temple, and McAllen Texas Temple (under construction). The construction of a temple in Austin was announced in April 2022. Missionary work began in Texas in 1843.
There are more than 360,000 Latter-day Saints in Texas. Fort Worth, located west of Dallas in north central Texas in the United States, is historically known for its cattle trade.[1]
