Religious Statues in Texas

If you are new to Texas or are just passing through and have a taste for art in the form of sculptures and statues, you are in luck because Texas has a few sculpture gardens and centers with many statues and sculptures on display. Each center has a handful of statues or sculptures of a religious nature as well for those with an eye for that type of art.
