Texas State University is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone within our community, across all our locations. Understanding where our campuses are situated is the first step in accessing the resources and information designed to keep you safe and informed. Texas State University operates primarily in San Marcos, Texas, with additional locations to serve our diverse student body.
Texas State University’s main campus is located in San Marcos, TX. This vibrant and dynamic campus is the heart of our university community, hosting the majority of our academic programs, student services, and residential facilities. In San Marcos, we also have the ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) Campus. Further expanding our reach and commitment to accessible education, Texas State also has a campus in Round Rock, TX.
To ensure a safe and secure environment across all locations, Texas State University publishes an annual Combined Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. This comprehensive report is an essential resource for understanding campus safety procedures, crime reporting policies, and vital statistics.
