The 45th Annual Tejano Music Awards ceremony was held on November 21, 2025 at the Texas Rodeo Saloon in Katy, Texas.[1] Bino Gaona, the organizer for the program, said that staying in San Antonio wasn't viable if the show were to continue, saying it might have caused them to fall into bankruptcy, thus the move to the Houston area.[2] The venue has a seating capacity around 2,200,[3] and table space sold out within 72 hours, before a lineup of performers had even been announced.[2]

The Texas Talent Musicians Association signed Alex Reymundo to host the event.[4] Performers were announced in stages, beginning on October 7, 2025 through November 4, 2025, and included Lucky Joe, Da Krazy Pimpz, David Olivarez, The Homeboyz, El Plan, Ram Herrera, Monica Saldivar, Avizo, Johnny Hernandez, Grupo Solido, Ricardo Castillon y La Diferenzia, and Max Baca & Los Texmaniacs.[5] A fan zone was held outside the venue beginning at 4:00 PM, a red carpet event was held from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, with the awards ceremony and performances beginning at 7:00 PM.[2][4] Avizo was scheduled as the opening act.[2] Best New Female Artist nominee Veronica La Consentida gave a performance on the red carpet.[6]

Max Baca & Los Texmaniacs gave a tribute performance for Flaco Jiménez,[1] with Chingo Bling and Art Tigerina listed as special guests.[6] Both a party and a dance were held after the ceremony.[2]

A new category was announced for the 2025 awards: Country Song of the Year.[7] Stefani Montiel and Monica Saldivar led the nominations with four each.[6] Both Johnny Hernandez and Ram Herrera were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards.[1]
