Alexis Texas

Alexis Texas was born on May 25, 1985, at a military base in Panama which at the time was considered an enclave and part of the United States. Having grown up in an environment influenced by military life, she identified with her mixed-race background, primarily Latin, which would later become a notable aspect of her persona in the adult entertainment industry. Texas is currently 40 years old, and her career in adult films has spanned nearly two decades, beginning in 2007 when she was just 22 years old. She has garnered significant recognition for her work and has been featured in various adult and mainstream productions.
