TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Houston, Texas
Tri-State Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Houston, Texas that operates from a purpose-built shop and showroom on Campbell Road.
Owner and master taxidermist Ben Cromeens leads a team that emphasizes care, artistry, and detailed craftsmanship in a modern facility designed for full-service taxidermy work.
The showroom features an ever-changing display of customer trophies and gives you a place to meet Ben and his staff and see their work in person.
Tri-State Taxidermy states that they will mount any animal, covering a broad range of big game, small game, birds, fish, and exotics.
Ben began taxidermy as a teenager, apprenticed for several years while earning a Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences degree from Texas A&M in 1998, and launched Tri-State Taxidermy shortly after, later moving into the current Campbell Road facility in 2009.
The studio positions its work as advancing the craft of taxidermy beyond typical public expectations, with a strong focus on artistry, natural detail, and custom design.
Tri-State Taxidermy does not publish specific prices and encourages you to contact the shop or visit the showroom to discuss your project and review examples.
Review feedback on timing is mixed, with some customers noting quick work or realistic timelines and others reporting delays beyond original estimates, especially on more complex projects.
Reviews are highly polarized, with many customers praising beautiful, detailed, often award-level mounts across a wide variety of trophies, while others report serious quality issues on certain pieces.
Service and communication reviews are also mixed, with some describing professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating staff, and others reporting rude interactions and difficulty resolving problems.
Several reviewers mention higher pricing and longer-than-quoted turnaround times, with some long-term repeat customers accepting this for the quality they receive and others feeling the cost and delays did not match their expectations.
Tri-State Taxidermy is based on Campbell Road in Houston, Texas and connects with regional hunting and taxidermy communities across Texas.
You can contact the studio directly or visit the showroom to review their work, discuss your animal, and confirm pricing and expected timelines before committing.
