Texas Tornado is the second solo album by Doug Sahm, released by Atlantic Records in December 1973.

Wexler signed Sahm to Atlantic records after the opening of the label's country music division.

Texas Tornado was constituted by the leftover tracks of his debut album, Doug Sahm and Band.

[6] The Kansas City Star delivered a favorable review that stated on the album Sahm "proves just how good a writer, composer and vocalist ... [he] is.

[10] Critic Robert Christgau gave the album a B+, and he compared it with previous Sahm releases: "the singing especially has the kind of force and definition he's always rendered irrelevant in the past".
