From Hell to Texas is a 1958 American Western film directed by Henry Hathaway and starring Don Murray and Diane Varsi.

Juanita takes a liking to Tod, who is searching for his missing father; he was raised by his mother, who instilled in him biblical principles and lessons.

Hunter Boyd, Tom, and a member of the posse confront Bradley and wound the old man when he will not let them search his home for Tod.

[2] When first offered the role of Tod Lohman, Don Murray turned it down, complaining that the script for "The Hell-Bent Kid" was "filled with unnecessary violence."

According to Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper, the actor eventually agreed to appear in the movie, but only after a complete rewrite job was done, omitting all the elements that Murray complained about.

The actor then began work by "taking daily riding lessons to get in shape for the cowboy role.

He was dropped from his Hollywood contract and did not act in a major studio film again until he appeared in The Sons of Katie Elder (1965).

Yet Crowther also noted that From Hell to Texas was ultimately indistinguishable from the innumerable TV-western serials that, in 1958, flooded network television's prime-time schedule.

[8] More recently, author John Howard Reid considered the film a disappointment, with "weak and uninteresting" characters.

Moreover, Reid cited technical flaws such as "obvious day-for-night lensing and glaring process screen backdrops"[9] Film historian Chris Langley has grouped From Hell to Texas with two other Henry Hathaway westerns, Nevada Smith (1966) and True Grit (1969) to form what the writer calls "Hathaway's Western revenge trilogy.
