Trophy Club Claims Top Spot as Texas Safest City for Families

North Texas Dominates Safety Rankings

Trophy Club has been crowned the safest city in Texas, topping the list among more than 340 Texas cities evaluated using the most recent FBI crime data. The small affluent community of 13,733 residents near Fort Worth has achieved what many larger cities struggle to maintain: exceptionally low crime rates that make families feel genuinely secure.

The chance of becoming a victim of violent crime in Trophy Club is extraordinarily low, at 1 in 10,000, which is far lower than many other locations, with a violent crime rate of just 1.379 per 1,000 residents during a standard year. These statistics position Trophy Club in the 97th percentile for safety, indicating that it is safer than 97% of cities in the United States.

North Texas dominates the list of Texas' safest cities for 2026, with five Dallas–Fort Worth suburbs landing in the top 10, with all of the cities selected from more than 340 Texas communities reviewed using the latest FBI crime data and population‑adjusted comparisons. Beyond Trophy Club, Parker ranks second, Melissa fourth, Murphy seventh, and Colleyville ninth on the SafeWise rankings.

Suburban Success Stories Beyond Dallas

Fulshear, Texas, stands out as the second-safest city in the state, according to a study based on FBI crime data, with an overall crime rate in Fulshear which is significantly lower than both national and state averages. A laid-back vibe in Fulshear leads to a meager crime rate, which is 86% lower than the Texas average, with violent crime essentially non-existent in the city, allowing you peace of mind.

Highland Village, Texas, is notably safer than many other cities, towns, and villages in America, safer than 69% of communities in the U.S. and 74% of communities in Texas, with the overall chance of becoming a victim of crime (both violent and property crimes combined) in Highland Village at 1 in 163, significantly lower than the national average of 1 in 43.

With the exception of Whitehouse and Lumberton, Texas' safest cities are all suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, or San Antonio, with only 1 murder reported in Texas's 10 safest cities, which happened in Colleyville. 60% of the 10 safest cities reported zero robberies, and 50% reported zero rapes, with no motor vehicle thefts reported in Fulshear.

What Makes These Communities Safe

Trophy Club residents enjoy many family-friendly events, good schools, and recreational programs for people to do, with proximity to shopping centers, event places, and restaurants. Residents and visitors alike agree that Trophy Club is a friendly, safe city with tons of Southern hospitality: "People are always willing to lend a helping hand, reach out to their neighbors, and always wave on their golf carts as they drive by."

In 2025, Trophy Club, Fulshear, and Highland Village remain among the safest options, thanks to their strong community policing efforts, low property crime rates, and proactive security initiatives, with the rise of smart home security and neighborhood safety programs also contributing to these cities maintaining their reputations as secure places to call home.

Finding the right place to raise a family is about more than just affordability and good schools—it's about security, peace of mind, and a strong sense of community, with Texas seeing a continued focus on crime prevention in 2024, with violent crime rates dropping by 6.5% statewide and property crime rates decreasing by 4.8%.

The Future of Texas Safety

Safety across Texas is shifting in a noticeable way, with numbers from the state painting a picture of gradual improvement, many suburbs keeping very low crime rates, and a handful of larger metros moving up national safety rankings, though new concerns do show up, especially around vehicle theft and coastal weather risk, but the overall direction leans positive.

These rankings reflect more than just statistics—they represent communities where families can build futures without constantly looking over their shoulders. As Texas continues to grow and attract new residents, these safe havens demonstrate that rapid development and security can coexist when communities prioritize both smart planning and genuine neighborly connections.
