The Texas Distance Learning Hall of Fame Award recognizes long-term distance-learning practitioners or advocates whose careers are characterized by exceptional commitment, outstanding achievements, and enduring impact in the field of distance learning. The award is intended to be an honor of high distinction; accordingly, inductees into the Hall of Fame are selected with great care. 

The Hall of Fame originated in 2005 with the posthumous induction of two TxDLA distinguished members: Don Foshee and John A. Baker.
