Texas Tomboy, a.k.a. Tex Starr, is a trans man and video artist who has worked and lived in San Francisco. He started making video footage in the 1980s, of everyday life, protests, parades, art videos and even a behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of the film, Maggots and Men.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, Texas began to filter through and catalog his personal video collection, finally leaving him with a whopping 912 titles complete with descriptions, year made, running time and ratings. In this modern day era, having a large collection of footage may seem trivial when you have access to your own digital archive at any moment from your phone, but this collection spans decades of time, in a variety of formats, footage of places, people and events not seen on video before besides by the editor.  Having done previous work on their advisory board, he asked the San Francisco Public Library's James C. Hormel LGBTQIA Center if his archive would be a good fit for their collection. They accepted and are now working on making the collection fully accessible online by anyone by 2025.

His work exists as a rare fully digital archive of a living trans artist. He currently works producing and editing other people’s work, and though he rarely shoots anymore, he still create shorts. He looks forward to his work being available online soon.
