I have to vote for this as one of the most uninformed statements I have yet seen at Wikipedia, i.e. "Texas country's roots lie in the Outlaw country movement of the 1960s and 1970s." This statement is found under Wikipedia's entry for Texas Country Music.

I wonder if the author of this article, obviously very young, ever heard of Bob Wills, Gene Autry, Ernest Tubb, Dale Evans, Tex Ritter and a multitude of other pre-Waylon/Willie Nelson Texas country artists? And before there were recording studios and electricity, there were barn dances with at least one fiddler. They weren't playing blues or rock.

I would say Texas country music roots are deeper than Statehood. The roots of outlaw music arose in the 1960s but Texas country music certainly did not.
