If you ask someone where they would like to visit if they took a trip to Texas, they would probably say Dallas, Austin, or Houston. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to visit the metropolitan areas of Texas tourists would be remiss to not visit some of the more charming towns in the Loan Star state.
