Texas Fuel

The Texas Fuel, formerly the South Texas Showboats, are a basketball team in the American Basketball Association. Based in San Antonio, the Fuel play their home games at the Alamo Convocation Center.

During the original planning process, the Showboats were a member of the United Basketball League.

Due to the team coming under new ownership the name was changed to the Texas Fuel, and the colors changed to green and black.

Historic Note: The Showboats were actually started by the combination of Mac Claire, founder and first commissioner of the UBL, and Bobbie Lee, owner of the San Antonio Soul who also played in the UBL. Ben Mireles has been credited with ownership of this team but in fact illegally used the name, "South Texas Showboats".
