Reception
In a contemporary review for The Philadelphia Inquirer, critic Mildred Martin called the film "a winning, warm-hearted comedy" and wrote: "A sort of sage brush fairy story, 'The Lady from Texas' has appeal without sogginess, humor and gentleness. Joseph Pevney's direction has the light, right touch and Howard Shumate's original has been deftly whipped into an ingratiating script by Gerald Drayson Adams and Connie Lee Bennett."[1]
