Lambert announced the tracklisting for Postcards from Texas on July 24, 2024, via Instagram. Self-described as a musical ode to her home state, Lambert co-produced the album with Jon Randall and recorded it at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas. Lambert wrote or co-wrote 10 of the album's 14 tracks. "Santa Fe" features guest vocals from Parker McCollum, and "Living on the Run" was originally recorded by its writer David Allan Coe for his 1976 album, Longhaired Redneck.
"Wranglers" was released as the album's lead single on May 3, 2024. It marked Lambert's first single release since her departure from longtime label home Sony Music Nashville, and subsequently signing a new joint recording deal with Republic Records and Big Loud. She described the move as a "fresh start" and expressed joy in recording a full record in Texas for the first time since her self-titled independent album, released when Lambert was 18.
"Dammit Randy" and "Alimony" were also released as promotional singles ahead of the album. Lambert co-wrote "Dammit Randy" with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, marking his first songwriting credits. "Alimony" was released alongside the album announcement on July 24, 2024, and inspired by her parents frequently working divorce cases while private investigators in Dallas, Texas. Described as a "shuffle", Lambert co-wrote the song with frequent collaborators Natalie Hemby and Shane McAnally, based around a spin on the phrase "Remember the Alamo". "No Man's Land" was released as the third and final promotional single in August.
"Run" will be released on February 24, 2025, as the album's second single to country radio.
