:''Texas always gets a bad rap. I always had a good time, met plenty of friendly people, though i did more freight riding here then hitching. East Texas has a lot of hippies and was better for hitch than West Texas.'' - samson
:''I have hitched through every part of Texas at least once and have to say it is one of many, many times over the easiest states to hitchhike in the whole countryyears. Cops can be terrible here. In Texas hill country I have been arrested and the panhandle, wait ticketed multiple times for rides are usually very minimalhitchhiking and panhandling. STAY AWAY FROM AUSTIN AREA unless you want to be arrested, ticketed, and run out of all the towns around there. The Texas economy Hitchhiking is still doing well and people will try to above the national average on the other hand . People give out a lot of money much more than other stateshere.'' - [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] 0:06:33, 6 March 2012 (CET)
:''Most Texans were extremely friendly and helpful in my experience. Though the only trouble with the law I ever encountered hitchhiking was in Beaumont. The police officer was not happy when I corrected him about the actual legislation regarding hitchhiking and basically told me to scram. Luckily, the first person I ran into at the nearby gas station gave me a ride :) As a single female, I was never waiting longer than twenty minutes, even coming out of big cities. One guy who picked me up in Port Arthur couldn't take me anywhere, but called his friend who was going to my exact destination that afternoon. And once a guy from Houston bought me dinner and a hotel room to stay for the night. I was gifted a Bible from a theology student once, and he said a really nice prayer for me as well, even though he knew I wasn't religious it was still a nice gesture. A Texan once told me, "Texans can't say no," and in my experience, I'd say that's mostly true.'' - [[User:Jnadz|Jnadz]] 03:25:10, 29 March 2012 (CET)
