How far is it to drive from Tennessee to Texas?

My sister moved from our home in Texas to Tennessee for college, and I want to surprise her for her birthday. How far is the drive to Tennessee from Texas?

Woohoo—it’s road trip time! And surprise birthday visits are the best way to get into the road trip spirit.
In general, the trip from Texas to Tennessee will be about 14 to 15 hours by car—or 900 to 1000 miles. Most likely, the drive will take you on I-40E and I-30E to land you safely in Tennessee.
The drive from Texas to Tennessee can vary by a few hours. The further east you live in Texas, the shorter your trip will be.
If you know what city you’ll be leaving from—and where you want to arrive in Tennessee—you can map out your trip online to see exactly how far the drive will be. You might want to arrange lodging if you don’t think you can make the long trek in one go.
