Gas prices have been relatively low all summer, and in Texas we've got some of the lowest prices in the country. They're about to get lower! Here's how low they'll go.

No plans yet for Labor Day weekend? Catching a high school football game tonight, or throwing a Labor Day backyard barbecue are some great last-minute ideas.  But if you want to hit the road for a little bigger adventure, these cool Texas destinations might be just the thing you need to freshen up your social media pages.
