They moved to [[Corpus Christi, Texas|Corpus Christi]], Texas, where they performed wherever they could - street corners, weddings, ''[[quinceañera]]s'', and fairs.{{sfn|Patoski|1996|p=53}} As Selena grew more popular, the demands of her performance and travel schedule began to interfere with her education. Her father took her out of school when she was in the eighth grade.{{sfn|Mitchell|1995|p=}} At seventeen, she earned a high school diploma by the American School Program.{{sfn|Patoski|1996|p=59}}

In 1988, she met [[Chris Pérez]], who had his own band. Two years later, the Quintanilla family hired him to play in Selena's band and they quickly fell in love.

In 1990 the album, ''[[Ven Conmigo]]'' was released, written by her brother and main songwriter [[Abraham Quintanilla III]]. This recording was the first Tejano album recorded by a female artist to achieve gold status. Around the same time, a registered nurse and fan named [[Yolanda Saldívar]] approached Selena's father with the idea of starting a fan club. Her wish was granted and she became the club's president; later she became the manager of Selena's retail enterprises.{{sfn|''New York Times''|1995|p=}} In 1992, Selena’s stardom got a big boost with the song, "[[Como La Flor (song)|Como La Flor]]" off a new album, ''[[Entre a Mi Mundo]]''.

Meanwhile, her duet with the Barrio Boyzz, "[[Donde Quiera Que Estés]]", reached number one in the [[Hot Latin Songs|Billboard Latin Charts]]. This prompted Selena to tour in Latin America.{{sfn|Patoski|1996|p=123}} She performed a duet with [[El Salvador|Salvadoran]] singer [[Álvaro Torres]], "[[Buenos Amigos]]".
