High J{sub c}, polycrystalline, TlBa{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 8+x} thick films on poly-YSZ substrates were examined by x-ray microdiffraction, electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. The superconducting phase was formed by vapor phase thallination. X-ray phi scans were used to study the local and macroscopic in-plane texture. Electron backscatter kikuchi diffraction was used to discern the grains structure within the colonies. Figure shows results of a limiting path calculation of J{sub c} vs colony mosaic.
