Texas Hall is a 76,000 square-foot proscenium theater on the campus of The University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington, Texas. It opened in 1965, and has a seating capacity of 2,625. The hall has ground level and balcony seating. Seating on the ground level is 1,273, and the balcony seats 1,352. Prior to the athletic teams vacating Texas Hall, there was bleacher seating opposite the theater seating that could sit 600.

The stage is over 5,000 square-foot. Dressing rooms are under the stage. A sound station with view of the stage is at the back of the ground level seating.

Texas Hall debuted intercollegiate basketball on December 1, 1965, when the Arlington State College Rebels men hosted the East Texas State Lions. Arlington State lost the opener 67-61. UTA's men's team record at Texas Hall was 351-222, a winning percentage of .613.

As an athletic facility, Texas Hall was the home of UT Arlington Mavericks men's basketball, women's basketball, wheelchair basketball and volleyball. It was one of the most unusual basketball/volleyball venues in America. In 1997 Texas Hall was noted by Sports Illustrated as one of college basketball's best places to watch a game due to the up-close view the audience had of the court.

In 2012, athletic operations moved to the new $78 million College Park Center on the east side of campus leaving Texas Hall to function exclusively as a campus performing arts and lecture venue.

The final men's basketball game in Texas Hall was a 63-54 UT Arlington victory against Stephen F. Austin on January 21, 2012. The final intercollegiate game was a UTA women's basketball loss on January 28, 2012, against Texas State.
