Select praise for That Texas Blood:
“Chris and Jacob pull off something remarkable here. A vivid and bright story that nails a thorough sense of foreboding and darkness. A shocking amount of talent for a duo so fresh to comics!” —Chip Zdarsky, Newburn, Daredevil
“Delightfully dark.” —Nerdist
“Blood and cruelty spill into the kindness and manners that provide Coates’ town a quaint, charming appeal... That Texas Blood is a ghost story and a Western, and it questions whether there is a difference between the two. As it builds upon the legacy of other modern Westerns, which raised similar questions, it’s not difficult to see how the series may stand comfortably upon the shoulders of giants.” —ComicBook.com
“What starts as a slice-of-life comic set in the heart of Texas, with Western undertones, quickly shifts more towards horror, with Phillips delivering gruesome imagery as Condon reveals cracks in their protagonist's inner psyche. This turn hints at a more contemplative and cerebral approach on a familiar story; there is horror to be had in That Texas Blood.” —CBR
“A great comic that holds up as one of the best examples of crime noir in years.” —Monkeys Fighting Robots
