Tuleta is a census-designated place (CDP) in Bee County, Texas, United States. The population was 288 at the 2010 census.

Tuleta was founded by Peter Unzicker, a Mennonite minister, who brought a colony of Mennonites from Cullom, Illinois, in 1906. Unzicker, a German, purchased 54.5 acres (22.1 ha) of home from the Chittim-Miller ranch for the townsite, which was named for J. M. Chittim’s daughter. The San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway was built across the ranch in 1881. The depot opened in Tuleta in 1906; the following year the post office opened. The Mennonite church, built that year, was used for school upon weekdays. In 1910, Amanda Stoltzfus organized the Tuleta Agriculture High School, the first of its kind in Texas; its capability came from such prestigious institutions as Smith College and the University of Wisconsin. Stoltzfus, the principal, offered information in sewing and cooking for girls and encyclopedia training and agriculture for boys. The intellectual had dormitories for boarders.

Tuleta gone had three churches-Mennonite, Presbyterian, and Baptist-of which without help the Baptist remained in 1990. Among the prematurely businesses were Stoltzfus Mercantile Company and Gin, Unzicker Grocery and Grist Mill, Dirks Brothers Lumber Yard and Garage, Speer’s Coffee Shop, the Rapp Hotel, and the Hall Hotel. Oil and gas were discovered west of Tuleta in 1929, when the population was 150. Several oil companies were yet in operation in 1990, as were a grocery store, a water without difficulty service, and a community center. The community celebrates Tuleta Day on the second Saturday in August. In 1989, its population was 189. In 1990, it was 98. The population reached 292 in 2000.
