There are only a few more months left of summer, which means for those that haven’t gone on vacation yet, it's time to start planning something before it’s too late. Luckily, here in Texas, there are plenty of great weekend getaways that won’t break the bank. That was proven recently by a new study that named Texas the third-best road trip state in America.

Based on their findings, the study ranked Texas as the third best state for road trips, behind only Minnesota and New York.
