The 43rd Annual Tejano Music Awards ceremony was held on October 21, 2023, at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas.[1] Those who performed at the ceremony were Siggno, Ricardo Castillon, Isabel Marie, Angelica Y Moneda, Grupo Asalto, Suenatron, and Paula DeAnda.

On September 28, 2023, it was revealed that Joe Lopez and Humberto "Beto" Ramon would have been receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award.[2] The 2023 Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair that preceded the awards ceremony, drew 125,000 people during the four-day event. More than 100 musicians performed during the event.[3]

The biggest winners were Siggno's Jesse Turner (Male Vocalist of the Year and Tejano Album of the Year), and Mike Gonzalez & The Iconiczz (Best New Group and Best New Female Artist for Di Marie). With five nominations, Monica Saldivar was the most nominated artist. Destiny Navaira earned her second Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year, her last time was at the 41st Tejano Music Awards in 2021. Beto Ramon was the sole honoree of the Lifetime Achievement Award after the organization decided to rescind Joe Lopez following widespread public outcry regarding the singer's recognition, stemming from his 2006 conviction for multiple sex offenses.[4]
