Miss Richardson Sadie Schiermeyer was named the new Miss Texas and Miss Colleyville Teen Emma Fossum became Miss Texas’ Teen last weekend at the Eisemann Center. 
 
Schiermeyer is the first second-generation contestant to win the Miss Texas title (her mother was Miss Texas 1994) and she’s also the first Miss Richardson to take home the Texas crown in the 88 years that the competition has existed.  

Schiermeyer competed on a platform entitled, “Healthier Texas: How Are You, Really?” and is passionate about improving Texans’ health through education, open conversations and accessible resources.  

As Miss Texas, she will represent Texas in the Miss America Scholarship Competition in September in Orlando, Fla. 
 
The Miss Texas competition has been held at the Eisemann Center since 2014, attracting hundreds of spectators from across the state each year to Richardson to witness preliminary competitions as well as the finals.
