The Texas Bullets were a team in the Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL) in 1998. The Bullets franchise was owned by Wayne Stigler, who also was the team's head coach. The Bullets played their home games at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, TX., with the team offices located in Temple, TX. The team's colors were: Black, Turquoise, & Silver. The Bullets suffered disappointing attendance and the costs of taking the team on a road trip to Hawaii to take on the Honolulu Hurricanes proved too much. The team folded after ten regular season games. Of the eight clubs that were in the first batch of PIFL franchises in '98, six still existed. The Bullets franchise was moved to Austin, Texas, in 1999 and renamed the Texas Terminators in the renamed Indoor Professional Football League.
The Bullets played three preseason PIFL games in 1997-1998. All were losses on the road:
- December 20, 1997 - Texas Bullets 22 at Utah Catzz 47 F
- March 28, 1998 - Texas Bullets 39 at Louisiana Bayou Beast 62 F
- April 6, 1998 - Texas Bullets 9 at Colorado Wildcats 49 F
