Texas plays a pivotal role in the 1998 feature film The X-Files: Fight the Future. In 35,000 BCE, during the Paleolithic era, two Neanderthals stumbled upon a cave in Northern Texas which was inhabited by a prehistoric alien life form. The alien attacked the Neanderthals, killing one, but the other momentarily survived. The second Neanderthal fought back, stabbing the alien with a rock. The blood from the alien contained a powerful pathogen that infected the Neanderthal, converting him into a living host for its parasitic spawn. Thousands of years later, a young boy named Steve found a fissure in the earth that led down into the cave. He was exposed to the same black substance that had infected the caveman so many millennia earlier and was overwhelmed by the contagion within minutes. Members of the global consortium known as the Syndicate learned about the incident and used their influence with FEMA to seal off the area. The bodies of the young boy, as well as three firefighters were taken to a Federal morgue in Dallas for autopsy. In the hopes of eradicating all trace evidence, the used their contact in the FBI, SAC agent Darius Michaud, to plant a bomb in the building. The idea was to make it appear like a terrorist attack, thus diverting attention away from their true purpose. Afterward, the Syndicate covered up the entrance to the North Texas cavern and erected a playground over top of it so that nobody else would learn the truth about the ancient extraterrestrial menace.

- In the early morning hours of August 18th, 1973, County officers discovered the remains of a badly decomposed body wired to a large monument. A second body was discovered in a ditch near the perimeter of the cemetery. Subsequent investigations led by Sheriff Rhesus Maldonado revealed that in some instances, only parts of the corpses had been removed. The head or extremities had been found missing while the remainder of the corpses were left intact. News of the incident was broadcast on radio networks by Ray Robbin. That morning, Sally Hardesty, her invalid brother Franklin and three friends drove to the cemetery in Newt to determine whether their grandfather's grave had been one of the targets of the macabre vandalism.
