Southern Living says this about Fort Worth:

This former cattle town has been picking up steam for the past decade as companies and young adults have decided to make their home here. Now, new developments like Mule Alley (an entertainment hub with restaurants, shops, heritage brands, shops, and a 4-star hotel) intermingle with the same timeworn cowboy spirit that put this place on the map in the 1800s.

#14 Dallas, Texas

Southern Living says this about Dallas:

Don't try to do Dallas in a weekend, unless you're ready to pay a flight change fee to extend your stay. A week (or even a month) may be more appropriate if you want to get to know each and every one of this sprawling metropolis's unique neighborhoods. From the Design District's modern art galleries and sleek showrooms to the Main Street District's swanky cocktail bars and designer shopping, there's a new adventure waiting around every corner in Dallas.

#8 Austin, Texas

Southern Living says this about Austin:

One visit to Austin, and you'll be hooked (no pun intended). The city combines the best of Texas barbecue with great live music, secret swimming holes, and plenty of trails for hiking and biking. New hotels like the stunning Loren at Lady Bird Lake are taking the city's already robust class of accommodations to the next level. Shop wares from local artisans, explore the brewery scene, and take a leisurely paddle on the lake. Don't leave without trying the city's signature dish: a breakfast taco doused in hot sauce.
