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.

On August 29, 2011, it was announced that the Indiana Pacers guard George Hill had signed a contract to play for the Fuel until the current NBA lockout ends. [1]
