Selena made her mark again.

Two decades after her death, the Queen of Tejano was inducted Friday into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame.

The induction, at Texas Woman's University in Denton, comes a few weeks after the MAC Cosmetics Selena makeup line sold out in stores and online.

"(The recognition) is very well deserved for the way she transformed music in the state of Texas and across the world," Gov. Greg Abbott said. "She is an icon for the great state of Texas."

Four other women also were inducted: pilot Emma Carter Browning; businesswoman and entrepreneur Susie Hitchcock-Hall; Ginger Kerrick, a division chief of the Flight Operations Directorate Integration Division at NASA; and Renu Khator, chancellor of the University of Houston system and president of the University of Houston.

Selena's nomination was made by Corpus Christi Mayor Nelda Martinez in April, but and the recognitions did not stop there.

That same month, the Tejano superstar received recognition as the Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year from the Billboard Latin Music Awards. In June, Selena Quintanilla Perez joined the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2017. And on Aug. 30, Madame Tussauds Hollywood in Los Angeles unveiled a wax figure of the immortalized Latina icon.

"I feel very proud in knowing there's a new generation who has embraced and looked up to her as a role model," said Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga, the singer's sister. "I know my sister would be ecstatic to be accepting this award that's so empowering for women."
