Texas State softball played its first Division I season in 1985, marking the 2024 season as the 40th season of Bobcat softball.
In that time the program has seen over 1,100 wins, 11 NCAA tournament appearances, seven conference championships, seven conference tournament championships, has played in four different conferences, and had just four head coaches.
The inaugural season of Texas State softball was led by head coach Pam Wuestenberg. Wuestenberg coached the Bobcats for 10 seasons from 1985-1994. She was the coach when the program made the jump from Division II in the Lone Star Conference to Division I in the Gulf Star Conference.
