Best time to visit Texas

While the summer (June – September) and winter seasons (December – February) are popular times to visit, due to the ideal weather conditions, visit Texas during the autumn (October – November). This way, you can skip the influx of tourists that summer and winter bring. During the early part of this season, the intense heat of the summer is fading, which makes outdoor activities more enjoyable. While the weather may be cooling down, it is still relatively warm in Texas, sitting around the low 20s. With the added pleasure of reduced tourist activity, you’ll be free to enjoy the attractions of this American state at your own pace. During this period, you can enjoy events such as the HEB Thanksgiving Day Parade in Houston (November), the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October, and the State Fair of Texas in Dallas (September – October).

Due to being on the border of Mexico, there are a few tips you should consider in order to stay safe:

• Stay alert at all times and practise basic common sense.

• Do not pick up hitchhikers.

• Keep your valuables, even spare change, out of sight and lock your vehicle.

• Do not explore well-marked but unofficial trails.

• Do not hike or camp near areas of major border activity. When visiting national or state parks, check with the staff to find out which areas are safe to explore.

• Report any suspicious behaviour to the U.S. Border Patrol.

In the major cities, stick to the tourist areas and you will be safe. Speak to the hotel concierge or manager if you want to find out about a certain area.

When driving near the border, be prepared for your vehicle to be searched by the U.S. Border Patrol, since random checks take place for illegal passengers and drugs. Make sure you have your passport as you may be asked to produce it. When visiting during the summer, don’t leave children in parked vehicles. Not only is there the risk of death, but such acts are illegal and can result in fines and even imprisonment.

Hurricane season is from 1 June – 30 November. If you visit during any part of this season, check beforehand online for safety tips.

The eastern and central parts of Texas are known to be affected by tornados. Always pay attention to weather reports and if you are near one, seek immediate shelter.

Deciding where to stay in Texas is dependent on what your plans are.

If you want to explore Downtown Dallas and the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, there are plenty of credible hotels and suites in and around the area, giving you easy access.

For the chance to explore the parks and nature reserves of Austin, it’s best to get accommodation in the areas of Downtown, Zilker, Govalle and Barton Hills.

The Downtown area in San Antonio has plenty of rental options, which will put you close to the Alamo museum.

In Houston, you can find accommodation in the area of Webster, putting you within walking distance of the Space Center visitor complex.

One option for exploring Texas and its cities is by car. The roads are generally in good condition and the drivers are well behaved, but be careful around congested areas. Some highways in the state have toll roads. Some accept cash while others require the use of a transponder.

Another way to get around Texas is by bus. Greyhound, Vonlane and Megabus provide intercity bus travel, with Greyhound offering the largest network.
