Little Texas is the fourth studio album released in 1997 by the country music group Little Texas. It was their last album for Warner Bros. Records. "Bad for Us", "Your Mama Won't Let Me" and "The Call" were all released from this album, peaking at numbers 45, 64 and 71, respectively, on the Billboard country charts, making this the first album of Little Texas' career not to produce any Top 40 country hits.
This is also the only album to feature Jeff Huskins on keyboards; Huskins replaced former keyboardist/co-lead vocalist Brady Seals, who had departed for a solo career in late 1994. In addition, it is the last album to feature lead vocalist Tim Rushlow. After Little Texas disbanded at the end of 1997, Rushlow departed for a solo career; Gray, Howell, O'Brien, and Propes re-established the band seven years later, with Steven Troy briefly serving as lead vocalist.
