How far is Austin from Houston driving?

We’ve heard nothing but great things about Terry Black’s Barbeque in Austin, Texas—we certainly owe it a visit! We are planning to visit this weekend. Does anyone know how far the drive is from Houston to Austin?

You’ll have to let us know if the BBQ lived up to the hype! To help you coordinate your visit, you’ll need about 2 hours and 45 minutes to drive the 165 miles between
Houston
and Austin.
While there are other routes, taking I-10W to State HWY 71 W will get you to your tasty destination the fastest.
As you initially head west out of Houston, the speed limit on I-10 W is 80 miles per hour. No matter how excited you are to arrive at your destination, keep it under 80—that’s fast enough already.
Of course, you’re going to want good car insurance for the trip. The car insurance super app

can provide you with a comprehensive cross-analysis of the best policies across providers and then handle the phone calls, paperwork, and renewals for your top pick so that you don’t have to. The average Jerry user saves $887 a year on car insurance!
