The Hauschild Music Company was founded by George Hauschild in 1891 in Victoria. Initially, the company sold only musical instruments and accessories, but soon began publishing music. It was one of the two earliest music publishers in the state, with the other being Thomas Goggan and Brothers in Galveston, according to the Handbook of Texas .
The company was known for being committed to publishing composers from around the region and, according to the Texas Handbook, was the first publishing company in Texas to publish Mexican composers.
The company ended its publishing operations in 1922.
