(Garland Genesis, Addison Arrows, Dallas/Fort Worth Toros, North Texas United, Fort Worth Kickers, Dallas Americans, Dallas Toros, Texas Toros, Texas Rattlers, Texas Spurs)

Although the club is currently donning its 11th name, the franchise dates back as one of the founding members of USL in 1986. Born as the Garland Genesis, the team won the inaugural Southwest Indoor Soccer League championship for the 1996-97 season. Since then, changes in ownership and name have been a regular occurrence, never playing under the same name for more than three years. Despite the constant changes, however, the club has stayed competitive, reaching the postseason 11 times in 14 outdoor seasons. The club saw its best postseason success indoors, though, reaching the final twice after claiming the league’s first championship. The club moved up to the Pro League (Third Division) in 1996, where it remained until returning to the PDL in 2001. In 2004, the ownership again changed hands as the club became the DFW Tornados. Along with the ownership and name changes, the team has played throughout the greater-Dallas area, calling Garland, Addison, Fort Worth and Richardson home over the years. One of the early owners and operators of the club was Ken Mulhall.
