Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

Can a club call themselves incorporated?

I am a member of an online gaming community based in Texas called ''Pride Killers Inc.'' and I'm questioning the legality of us calling ourselves incorporated when we have not gone through the legality of becoming incorporated. Is it lawful for us to have ''Incorporated'' in our name when we are not incorporated?
