Texas - Houston & East Texas (PDF Chapter)
This is the Houston & East Texas chapter from Lonely Planet’s Texas guide-book.
More down-home than Dallas, more buttoned-up than Austin, Houston has money and cul-ture, but wears them like a good ol’ country boy come to town. Within day-trip distance you can visit NASA and the place where Texas won its independence.
