Based on data from the 1960s as well as 80 hours or recordings of sociolinguistic interviews I conducted in 2002, I show how rapidly Texas German has been eroding over the past four decades. With this assessment, I analyze the causes of language shift from Texas German to English in the Texas German community, and place the results in the context of other cases of language death in the United States and abroad.
