How many hours is it driving from Chicago to Texas?
I have my kids for a few weeks this summer, and I want to take them on a road trip through Texas where I grew up. We’ll be starting out from Chicago, so I want to be sure to budget in enough time for the drive down there and back. How long will it take to drive from Chicago to Texas?

Texas is a great state for road tripping, so I’m sure you and your kids are going to have an awesome time this summer!
Since you’re headed to
Texas
for a road trip, we calculated your quickest route from Chicago
to the northern border of the state, and that’ll take about 13 hours and 45 minutes. You’ll probably be tempted to knock this drive out in just a day, but we wouldn’t recommend it—especially with kids in the car.Split the drive into two days, and stop for the night in Springfield, MO, or, if you add just one hour to the whole drive, you can stop in Kansas City instead, so your kids can compare KC and Texas barbecue!
