Hard to narrow down for me...Comal County Blue and Somewhere Down In Texas/Jason Boland, and Lonely Lubbock Lights and Barbwire Halo/Aaron Watson are up there. As are Corpus Christi Bay/REK and Having Fun All Wrong/Roger Creager
I'm confused. Are we talking about favorite Texas country songs (country songs about Texas) or is it favorite Texas Country songs (songs classified as "Texas Country")?????????????????
I am confuddled also. Not sure what the OP means by favorite Texas country song. A song by a Texan or a song about Texas or both? Many of the singers mentioned are not Texas, as pointed out below:
He just put on a bad A show at the Red Dirt BBQ Festival. PG still jams!
I was in my second year at SHSU that year and TX music was at its peak as far as I'm concerned. Pat Green was king then, but he sucks now as bad as he said Nashville did. LOL
I'm going with 'Amarillo By Morning' by the real king as well. I never get tired of listening to that song.

CCR = Oklahoma
The Great Divide = Oklahoma
Blake Shelton = Oklahoma
Singing about a California freeway by a guy from New York???
As for me, there is no way to narrow it down to one. George Jones, Ray Price, Ernest Tubbs, Jim Reeves, George Strait, Willie, Waylon and so on...
Ragweed, Boland and the Great Divide all came/moved to Texas years ago to achieve fame. All major players in the TEXAS MUSIC scene. They all still live around New Braunfels.
George Strait was NEVER a major part of the Texas scene. He is Nashville.
Reckless Kelly originally hail from Stanley Idaho. They have been a part of the Texas scene for 15+ years. There is no Idaho scene. They advertise as Reckless Kelly, Austin, Tx.
