The aim of this paper is to analyze the technological trajectory of the textile industry in Mexico. Based on the proposed Dosi (1982) on this concept, the discussion focuses on the technological paradigm, but also includes the proposal of Pérez (1986), that suggests the concept of technoeconomic paradigm, which takes into account economic and organizational. This allowed developing a fuller explanation of the itinerary followed by this industry. Research is documentary, ranging from the forties of the last century to the early years of this century.
