Live in Texas is the third album by Vince Bell. It was released in October of 2001 on the singer-songwriter's own label, "vincebell.com". As the title suggests, the album was recorded live at a Texas Nights North house concert in Dallas, Texas, on May 11, 2001. Bell offered no apology for his DIY effort (his first after "Texas Plates", which had been issued on Paladin Records/Warner Bros.), saying upon the album's release about the burgeoning opportunities offered by CD-Rs: "If you've got something to say, or you play it just like you talk it, there's no better way for an author of music/lyric to keep the art form alive. You shouldn't have to ask permission of any record label to put your foot in it. After a treasured saying, 'If you are lead by authority, you are lead by a halter.'"
