We are now accepting nominations for the 2026 Most Endangered Places (MEP) list! This year’s list will be announced in May. We are seeking nominations for significant historic sites threatened by demolition, neglect, inappropriate development, or other similar issues.

Since 2004, the MEP program has highlighted hundreds of threatened sites across Texas, bringing statewide attention to these places and helping mobilize support for their protection. While PT provides publicity for listed sites, each property nominated to the 2026 list must already have an organized group of advocates working toward its preservation.

Nominations are due Friday, April 17, 2026. To learn more and submit a nomination, visit preservationtexas.org/mep2026
