Glenn-I believe Frank "The Texas Wonder" Hoffman, who is in the Old Judge set, was the first Texas born(Houston) major league player with a card.

Indeed, but not a major league card.

I found similar issues in several states when I started putting together a collection of the 50 states' "rookie cards." In Mississippi, for example, there is a card of Doug Crothers in the minors from 1886 but not a major league card of anyone until Sport McAllister. South Dakota has a couple of guys with Zeenuts but no one shown in the majors until 1958 Topps. Utah and Washington also have some Zeenuts guys years before any major league cards. Anyway, I've got extensive notes on all of the states, states who had guys born before statehood, states who have guys who debuted before another player born earlier in the same state, etc.

I'm with you Glenn. So Hoffman is the first Texas born major leaguer with a card, just not a major league card. If an 1888 KC card of Hoffman turns up that would check all the boxes. It is possible, but has not turned up yet.

Exactly. And that would be quite a find.
