As you travel through this wonderfully diverse state make sure to ask the locals where you should eat at for certain food items. For example, where's the best place to get BBQ brisket around here?

5. When traveling in Texas, bring a jacket and a pair of pants no matter who hot you think it will be. It is always safer to bring these items because depending on when you travel and where in Texas you travel...night time is an entirely different ball game when it comes to day time temperatures. In the middle of the state where there is little humidity and the air is dry...it can get very cold late at night and early in the morning. So bring a jacket!!!
