Christie Lee Woods Miss Texas USA
Woods won Miss Houston Teen USA in 1995, and then went on to win Miss Texas Teen USA in 1996. In August 1996, she represented Texas in the Miss Teen USA pageant, which was broadcast live from Las Cruces, New Mexico, and became the first woman from her state to win the title.
Her sister titleholders as Miss Teen USA were Alicia Machado, Miss Universe 1996, of Venezuela, and Ali Landry, Miss USA 1996, of Louisiana.
She also reigned alongside Brook Lee, who briefly held the title of Miss USA 1997 before winning the Miss Universe pageant in 1997; and Brandi Sherwood, Miss Teen USA 1989 and first runner-up to Miss USA 1997, who succeeded Lee as Miss USA. Throughout her reign, Woods traveled extensively throughout the United States and made charitable appearances before relinquishing her title in August 1997, when she crowned Shelly Moore of Tennessee as Miss Teen USA 1997 in her home state of Texas.
Woods returned to pageantry in 2001, competing as Miss Central Texas in the Miss Texas USA 2002 pageant. She was one of six former Miss Texas Teen USA winners who competed in the event. Woods won the swimsuit, interview, and Miss Photogenic competitions, but finished third runner-up. This was the first time a former Miss Teen USA winner did not win a Miss USA state pageant on their first attempt.
Andria Mullins, Woods’ successor to the Miss Texas Teen USA title, also lost and finished second runner-up to eventual winner, Miss Dallas Fort Worth, Kasi Kelly, who was not even a previous Miss Texas Teen USA.
The following year, Woods competed for and won the Miss Houston USA title, earning the right to compete at Miss Texas USA 2003, where she failed to win the crown, finishing as one of the semifinalists alongside Mullins, who also competed but was not crowned. Mandy Jeffreys, Woods’ predecessor to the Miss Texas Teen USA crown, matched Woods’ 2002 placement as third runner-up, only to lose to Nicole O’Brian, Miss Texas Teen USA 2000, who was unable to capture the Miss Teen USA 2000 or Miss USA 2003 crowns.
Woods competed in Miss Texas USA 2004 for the third time, finishing in the semifinals. Because of the age restrictions imposed on contestants, this was her final attempt at the title. Woods would represent a new era in which none of the previous Miss Teen USA titleholders would win a Miss USA state crown. In 1998, Jamie Solinger of Iowa and Shauna Gambill of California would be the last.
