Reception

Mark Allen of Hardrock Haven called Pride of Texas the album that added Texas Hippie Coalition to the list of southern metal artists.[1] Cuttingedgerocks.com called the work an "attack of blasting guitar, thumping drums and mind-wearing bass coupled with muscle driven intoxicated lyrics from a gargantuan with fitting gumpture and vocals".[4]
