Not a fan of blood and honey, other two are respectable. However, I'd take what Louisiana is doing with their hoppy beers over what I had in Texas any day.
I admit I haven't been to Houston for Brash and those, only commenting on what I had in Dallas

I didn't realize Martin House was putting out such quality brews. I'll try to get my hands on a few of those in the near future.

Get your hands on some fresh Friday from Martin House. Delicious.
Also, Manhattan Project in Dallas is brewing some killer IPAs. Draft only is my understanding.

I'd put the recent hoppy beers from Whole Foods and Feeding Frenzy from Copperhead up against Parish and Gnarly hops.
Only thing is, WF is all either draft or crowler/growler, which isn't as cost efficient as off the shelf bottles, and FF is brewery only. So, if we're talking quality of easily accessible hoppy beers from in-state breweries, Louisiana does have the upper leg.

Distribution is the biggest problem with Texas IPAs. There are some damn good beers being made but very little, if any, distribution of them.

Are there legal issues with distributing kegs only in LA/TX? There are some really good breweries that don't bottle or can in Oregon (Boneyard and Barley Browns come to mind). That doesn't mean that their beers aren't readily available, as they are all over the place in taprooms, restaurants/bars, and growler fill stations.

Its legal in Texas. I'm sure WF just has a small setup since its only at that one location in Houston. Maybe Amazon will upsize it and send a drone to my door with beer.

No, these beers are available that way. But for someone wanting top local beer of the shelves, LA is currently a better state for that than TX. I can't go to my local HEB or Whole Foods and grab a 4-pack or 6-pack of the best of the best hops Texas has to offer.
I can go to WF or Rouses in LA, though, and find Envie, Ghost, Opus at times, and Jucifer.

Gotcha. Boneyard is 3 1/2 hours away from Portland, and Barley Browns is a 5 hour drive. Both are readily available in Portland and Seattle. I think their model of keg only beer gives them the flexibility to brew one-offs all the time. Distributors don't mind swapping out kegs of one-offs for the regular beers because taprooms like the one-offs. You can't do that with cans unless you're going to set up the canning for every one off that you brew.
