AUSTIN, Texas – Volcanoes in Texas? It's true. Texas history is rich with dinosaur footprints , fossils and gemstones but Texas was also once home to active volcanoes. Linda McCall, an information geologist at the University of Texas at Austin, estimates that there are about 200 or so volcanoes in Texas and while none are active, she told KSAT it's still possible they could become active again. However, McCall noted that the last time a volcano erupted in Texas was about 30 million years ago in the Trans Pecos region.
