Encompassing seven major regions, Texas has 700,000-plus miles of highway and spans 956 miles at its widest part. Whether crossing Texas west to east from New Mexico to Louisiana or north to south from Oklahoma to Mexico, count on 14 to 16 hours behind the wheel. “There is no simple recipe that can capture all of Texas,” states Travel Texas of its current “Let's Texas” advertising campaign. “No two trips are alike nor should they be. Texas offers the ability to personalize a trip to exactly a traveler's unique preferences.”
Several buildings at the Spindletop Gladys City Boomtown Museum on the Lamar University campus were damaged Sunday when a line of thunderstorms passed through.
