Although most parts of the country are beginning to cool down this time of year, Texas is still hot as heck! Sure, the thought of curling up in a warm sweater and sipping cocoa might be appealing, but once you step outside, you’re shocked into reality that fall in Texas isn’t quite like fall around the rest of the country. With that in mind, that doesn’t mean that we lack fun fall activities. Check out the 5 fun things to do in Texas in the fall.
