"Texas Highways" is a great magazine for folks interested in the great state of Texas. It covers the state by regions, much like the Texas Tourism Board's travel brochure, and gives those familiar or unfamiliar with the Lone Star State a nice taste of things big and small that make Texas so unique. Recipes, travel tips, stories on locals and their haunts, music, and fun are all found here. They're all given to the reader in wonderful articles that capture this truly unique state.

In case you're wondering, I'm not from Texas. I grew up in southwest Louisiana rather close to the Texas border. I love Louisiana like few others do. However, if I had to pick another state as a favorite, Texas would be at the top of the list. I'm an Astros fan, love the music of Gary P. Nunn, and will never turn down a taste of cold Lone Star beer. It's a great state folks, and this magazine catches its spirit exceptionally well.

We live in Texas, so I thought this magazine would inspire some Texas adventures. While the magazine is great, be prepared to wait a long time to get this after you order. I ordered in mid-April and actually got the first issue in mid-July and that was the August issue. In this day and age of technology, why does it take so long to get a magazine out? I know they say 6-10 weeks but that IS a very long time. They need to stream line these orders. If you are into instant gratification, get your copy monthly at the store.

This magazine profiles various locations throughout the state of Texas with history, some politics, and lore. It is a great read with colorful maps and pictures. A good buy!

Great guide for traveling to all parts of the state. Have subscribed to this publication for years. I enjoy the splendid photography and the limited pages of advertising.

I got this for my husband because they seem to have a lot of food/restaurant stories. He says he enjoy the articles. Fascinating things about Texas. But too much filler and not enough meat. 3 good stories and lots of advertisement.

Just what I wanted to get info on the best places to visit in Texas. The photography in TH is outstanding. You get a real sense of the beauty and history of the great state. Recommend wholeheartedly.

Purchased 11/08 and still haven't received a copy of the magazine on 01/30/10. Pretty Crappy service!

I've found this magazine gives us inspiration on other places to visit here in Texas..even the ads have influenced us to check out some other cities/towns. It has beautiful pictures and well-written articles. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 (4.5 would probably be more accurate) is because I would like this magazine to highlight more places to eat.

For decades, Texas Highways has provided travel information about the Lone Star State. Each issue of this monthly magazine contains features concerning points of interest around Texas, and the photographs accompanying the stories are top-notch. For those looking for ideas for weekend getaways, there is a section that provides a calendar of upcoming events happening all over the state. Subscribers look forward to the April issue each year, as it always contains memorable photographs of bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, and other wildflowers that blanket parts of the state in a riot of color each spring. Anyone who travels extensively in Texas or is planning to do so would enjoy this magazine.

I am still waiting on my first edition of the magazine to arrive. It has been 72 days since I ordered.
