Behind the Scenes
- The title is a play on the 1948 film, Two Guys From Texas.
- This cartoon marks the debut of Jose and Manuel as the Mexicali Crows, and this would be their only solo-short.
- Jose and Manuel are the second pair of Looney Tunes characters to be redesigned as other animals (in this case, first redesigned as cats and then as mice and then back to birds). Before them, Babbit and Catstello were first designed as cats in A Tale of Two Kitties, then redesigned as dogs in Hollywood Canine Canteen and then as mice in both Tale of Two Mice and The Mouse-Merized Cat.
- This is the first cartoon to change the "COLOR BY TECHNICOLOR" byline on the opening titles to simply "TECHNICOLOR" and would be used for the rest of the series.
- The "That's All Folks" sendoff is done differently in this short. Instead of having writing itself out, it fades in over the beautiful sunset background as the crows sing and play the guitar atop their tree.File:Two Crows From Tacos TaF Sendoff Card.png"That's all Folks!" Card
Everlasting influence
- Jose and Manuel would reincarnate later as cats in the 1959 Looney Tunes short, Mexicali Shmoes, then as mice in the 1961 short, Cannery Woe and would become crows once more in the 1962 Merrie Melodies short, Crows' Feat.
