I was answering more for Houston and this region of Texas than the state overall. I don't know many people who eat CFS on a regular basis, it's more of an occasional thing if people eat it at all (I don't), and it wasn't invented here, so I wouldn't single it out as being a food particular to the Houston area. Anyway, I included it indirectly; it falls under soul/Southern.
*nodding in appreciation of the point* Yeah, I was thinking of Texas overall. And you are right that CFS would fall under the general class of Southern/soul food. Then again, in a way, so would BBQ. However, I think both (BBQ and CFS) as usually served in the state are sorta indicitive of "Texican" uniqueness. That is to say, BBQ here tends to be beef whereas our southeastern kinfolk usually prepare pork. And while CFS is a first cousin to Deep South "country fried steak", there are a few differences.

I just had me some country fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans the other day
Which state holds claim to "City Chicken"? Anyone know? What what exactly IS it???
City chicken isn't chicken. It's cubes of pork or beef that can be made and put on a skewer so you can eat it off a stick.
From Wikipedia: The dish (and hence the term) seem to be regionalized to the areas surrounding Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh-area preparations are almost always breaded and usually baked, whereas the Cleveland version is generally baked without breading and served with gravy. Grocery stores in both areas sell wooden skewers of pork cubes pre-prepared as city chicken.
Pittsburgh has Primanti Bros. sandwiches which come with cole slaw and fries on them.
Pirogies. Isalys chipped ham.
