Our Mission: Go Big, Go Texas, Go Prepared
The saying is true: everything is bigger in Texas—including the planning! We started HowTexas.com because we realized that for international visitors and first-time travelers, navigating this massive, diverse state can be overwhelming. Texas is a land of cowboys, tech gurus, coastal beaches, and desert mountains, and it deserves a guide that captures all of it.
Our Mission is simple: To cut through the clutter and provide clear, honest, and expert-vetted travel information so you can experience the *real* Texas, not just the clichés.
Who We Are
We are a team of passionate travelers, Texans (by birth or by heart), and storytellers who believe that the best journeys start with great advice. We have driven the highways, tasted the BBQ, explored the museums, and felt the spirit of every major city—from the glittering skyline of Dallas to the bohemian streets of Austin.
We write for you: the global explorer looking for an authentic adventure. Whether you are coming from London, Tokyo, or Toronto, we provide the context you need to feel comfortable and confident exploring our home state.

🔍 Honest & Reliable Advice
Every piece of advice is researched, verified, and written by humans (not bots!) who have actually been there. We tell you what is worth the money and what you can skip.
