In March 1916, the Texas Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage (TAOWS) was created as a chapter of NAOWS in Houston with Pauline Wells as the president.[17][18] The chapter in Texas also connected the increase in African Americans voting to women's suffrage and they stoked fears of "domination by the black race in the South."[17] They also believed that women's suffrage was linked to "feminism, sex antagonism, socialism, anarchy and Mormonism."[17] Like their parent organization, TAOWS had local chapters in major Texas cities.[19] TAOWS fought against the Texas Equal Suffrage Association who were pushing for Texas women's right to vote in Texas primary elections in 1918.[17] In April 1919, headquarters were moved to Fort Worth.[20] In 1919, TAOWS successfully campaigned against a state measure for women's vote which was defeated by 25,000 votes in May.[17] However, in June 1919, Texas passed a suffrage amendment, allowing women to vote and the TAOWS stopped fighting against women's suffrage.
