Are you the next member of the AKW's Texas Title Family?

Applications are open for the Texas Title Family Contest which is held each year at Austin Kink Weekend.  We have listened to the community to bring a lot of changes to 2026.  This year, Austin Kink Weekend is proud to announce our newest title contest, Texas Rubber Ambassador.  The Texas Rubber Ambassador contest is the first state level contest for rubber enthusiasts in Texas and will represent the Lone Star state at MIR in 2027.

The Texas Leather contest began in 1997 with the Mr. Texas Leather contest in Dallas, Texas.  Two Mr. Texas Leather titleholders have represented the international leather community winning the International Mister Leather contest.  Stephen Weber became International Mister Leather in 2002.  Then, in 2009, Mr. Texas Leather Jeffrey Payne became International Mister Leather.  

After the success of the Mr. Texas Leather title, the Ms. Texas Leather joined the Texas Leather Title Family in 2012 with Synn becoming International Ms. Leather the same year.  Earlier this year, The Goddess Indigo, Ms. Texas Leather 2023 became International Ms. Leather 2024 representing the proud state of Texas on the international stage.

Since 2023, Austin Kink Weekend has had the honor to be entrusted with carrying on the legacy of Texas leather community.  As the Texas Leather Title Family has grown, we have had representation at International Mister Leather, International Ms. Leather, International Ms. Leather Bootblack, and International Pet and Trainer contests.  

We look forward to continuing the strong tradition of the Texas Title Family and look forward to what you'll bring to the stage to compete this Easter weekend!
