Ag-clad Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub x} tapes were fabricated by a powder-in-tube process. Transport critical current density (J{sub c}) data were obtained at 4.2 K. X-ray diffraction data were used to quantify the texture of each superconductor core. J{sub c} and texture data were related by a geometric model based on J{sub c} anisotropy within individual grains. The model, which fit the data well, is applicable to strongly linked superconductors only.
