Texas Highways Magazine

Designated the “Official Travel Magazine of Texas” by the Legislature in 1975, Texas Highways has evolved into an award-wining, multimedia brand, reaching over two million Texans and savvy travelers monthly. Top writers and photographers showcase the best of Texas’ people, places, and wide-open spaces. Destinations, attractions, and business mentioned in each issue benefit from the coverage.

Generations of Texans have come to rely on Texas Highways, for good reasons: rigorously fact-checked, a focus on authentic experiences, curated coverage, non-political and positive editorial content, and lots of practical tips to get a trip started.

Frequently featured categories include state and national parks, urban centers and small towns, cultural art venues, statewide events, historical features, accommodation and dining establishments; weekend getaway adventures; photographers and their work; unique Texas products and shopping opportunities; nature tourism excursions; and scenic landscape photography.

Newsletters

Texas Highways produces four monthly digital newsletters that provide additional Texas travel coverage, including popular web stories, road trips, upcoming events, exclusive content, and special discounts. Find out more at Texas Highways newsletters.

The Texas Highways Mercantile features products that celebrate exceptional creativity by highlighting Texas-based artisans and craftspeople. Most of our products are designed and manufactured in the Lone Star State–many of them by hand. We are proud to share what inspires our makers’ creative processes, their journey to small-business ownership, and their favorite places to travel in the state. Don’t Mess with Texas® products.

We are always looking for new makers to work with. If you are interested in selling your product in the Mercantile, email mercantile@texashighways.com
