I don't know where you are located, but in the Texas Hill Country, potted tomatoes don't really do good. the roots will quickly be stressed by the heat. If they are in deep soil and their feet are kept damp, you should do good. They like mulch too!

It's funny though, everyone told me that tomatoes love the heat. I've seen them grown in Iraq under plastic sheeting, (and it gets 120+ in the summer there) yet I've the biggest success I've had is when I use the 30% shadecloth.

I’m in central Texas, close to Waco. I’ll put one tomato plant in my key hole garden, it’s roots can go down 4 feet it it wants to. The other I’ll put in a 3 foot high pot. Thank you for your help. I’m a DUH gardener.

Most varieties in the US have been bred for temporate zones. Maybe look for Mexican varieties?
