by Mighty

anything within walking distance of the Grassy Knoll, almost everything that looks slick, is. The going rate for even a really good hamburger with avacados and everything is about $6.00 if they are charging more then they suck... P.S. drinks tend to be on the expensive side, beer can run you up to $4.00 a bottle mixed drinks tend to be more, bartenders expect to be tipped at every round...

by larsen

Dallas and Houston are not relaxing places. Prices high, crowded, bad traffic. They have points of interest, but if I weren't going with a certain thing in mind to visit, I wouldn't go at all. The rest of Texas is roomier and friendlier. But Dallas and Houston are more high-energy 'party' towns if you like that sort of thing.

by truredneck

Dallas proper While someparts of downtown are nice most of dallas is rundown. The other surrounding cities have all the fun stuff with less traffic and cleaner facillities.

Not that many tourist traps in Texas...

Well, for the exception of the cities, the State is definitly free of them. However, don't underestimate the cities for they hold several interesting activities worth a stop.
