From the military records found across the Roman Empire, it appears that the Texandri may have formed at least one administrative district or ""pagus"" which contributed troops to Roman armies, but it appears to be associated with more than one higher level district or "civitas". One is the "Civitas Tungrorum", the "civitas" of the Tungri, but there also seems to be an association with the "civitas" of the Nervii, to the west of the Tungri. The modern town of Tongerloo, named after the Tungri, is very close to Tessenderlo, but actually further from the capital city of the Tungri, modern Tongeren. The relationship between the Tungri and Texandri is unclear. Prior to Pliny, the Texandri were not mentioned by Julius Caesar or Strabo in their reports of the region.
