The film, originally titled The Carnival Story, was envisioned as a vehicle for Betty Hutton. In February 1950, the project was announced as a vehicle for Esther Williams and Red Skelton, their third film together, following Bathing Beauty (1944) and Neptune's Daughter (1949). Filming was delayed because of Williams' pregnancy. In August 1950, Howard Keel and Ann Miller joined the cast.
The film was retitled Texas Carnival in November 1950. In December 1950, MGM announced that Charles Walters would direct.
Filming started in late January 1951 and wrapped by early April.
