The Texas Legislature designated the Texas General Land Office as the custodian of the Alamo in 2011. The Alamo Trust was then contracted to oversee the Alamo grounds, the Alamo Church and other historic structures and to tell the story of the Battle and its role in Texas history.
The Alamo Trust also develops educational programs, educational films, special exhibits, and demonstrations.[1][2] Kate Rogers became executive director of the Alamo Trust in March 2021. She, along with others, led a 2021 “reset” of a major project to enhance and expand historic mission and the battleground in San Antonio.[2]
The Texas Legislature allocated $400 million for the project, which is thought to be a $550 million endeavor, however the actual cost will likely be at least $640 million. The Alamo Trust committed to raise $150 million, but the project is mostly funded by Texas taxpayers.
For the next 4 years, Rogers led the project, with the work being executed by the Alamo staff, consultants and contractors. The primary partners are the city of San Antonio and state of Texas. [2]
Rogers was forced to resign October 23, 2025 as president and CEO of the Alamo Trust. She was replaced the next day with former Texas Secretary of State, Hope Andrade, who has been an Alamo Trust board member since 2015.[2]
Alamo Trust announced the opening of a new indoor Alamo Welcome Center December, 2025. The location will streamline ticketing and improve the visitor experience ahead of the holiday and Alamo Bowl season. It is expected to serve the site's 1.6 million annual visitors. The new facility offers a centralized location for purchasing tickets and booking tours. [3]
Alamo Trust transferred security operations to the Texas Department of Public Safety in December 2025. This was mandated by Senate Bill 3059, passed during the 2025 legislative session. The scope is similar to duties assigned to DPS at the State Capitol complex and the Bullock Texas State History Museum. Previously, private officers known as the Alamo Rangers provided security. [4]
